KlasJet, an Avia Solutions Group charter and ACMI operator, has expanded its fleet with another Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft. This addition increases KlasJet’s ACMI-dedicated jets to a total of seven.

The additional aircraft bolsters KlasJet’s charter service capabilities ahead of what is predicted to be a bust summer peak season.

Boeing 737-800 LG LY-SLX

The new aircraft, registered LY-SLX, boasts a spacious 186-seat configuration and is slated to begin operations in mid-May. According to KlasJet CEO Justinas Bulka, this expansion strengthens their ability to serve customers during the anticipated busy summer season.

“ACMI services are a recent venture for KlasJet, having entered the market in 2023,” Bulka explains. “Despite the brief timeframe, we’ve secured several long-term contracts and strategically grown our fleet.”

“While sourcing suitable aircraft presents a current challenge, we’re committed to reaching a 50-strong fleet within the next five years.”

KlasJet offers two primary services: VIP full-charter flights and ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) leasing.

Their current fleet of 14 aircraft caters to both sectors, with capacities ranging from 10 to 68 seats for VIP travel and 186 or 189 seats for ACMI operations.

The ambitious expansion plan aims to reach 50 aircraft within five years, with 40 designated for ACMI services.

As part of the Avia Solutions Group, KlasJet leverages the expertise of the world’s largest ACMI provider.

The group boasts a vast fleet of 212 aircraft and offers a comprehensive suite of aviation services, including MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul), pilot and crew training, ground handling, and various other related services.

KlasJet ACMI and a Busy Summer

ACMI, which stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance, refers to a leasing arrangement within the airline industry.

In an ACMI agreement, KlasJet provides a complete operational package to airlines or tour operators. This includes the aircraft itself, a fully qualified crew, maintenance services to ensure airworthiness, and insurance coverage.

For KlasJet, ACMI remains a key initiative and major revenue stream, particularly as they gear up for a busy summer season. Here’s why:

• Increased Revenue Streams: ACMI allows KlasJet to tap into a wider market beyond just VIP charter flights. This diversification generates additional revenue streams, especially during peak travel periods.
• Flexibility for Airlines: Airlines can utilize ACMI to address temporary capacity shortages or seasonal fluctuations in demand. This flexibility is particularly valuable during the summer months, when travel typically surges. KlasJet’s ACMI services can help airlines meet this surge without the significant investment required to acquire and maintain additional aircraft.
• Scalability: ACMI allows KlasJet to scale its operations efficiently. By adding aircraft specifically for ACMI leasing, they can meet the anticipated summer demand without impacting their existing VIP charter services.

In essence, ACMI equips KlasJet with the tools to capitalize on the busy summer season. They can offer airlines a comprehensive solution to address increased passenger volume, while simultaneously generating additional revenue for KlasJet.

Fly2Sky Airlines, a global ACMI charter specialist operator, has firmed a new agreement with the Algerian national carrier Air Algérie.

Through a new ACMI agreement with Air Algérie and AVICO SAS, Fly2Sky further strengthens its connections in key markets.

Airbus A320 LZ-FSA

This partnership marks the latest contract for Fly2Sky. The first flight under this agreement took off on April 16th, operated by a Fly2Sky Airbus A320 (registration LZ-FSA).

This flight sees a new collaboration between the two airlines. The aircraft, stationed in Algiers, will play a critical role in supporting summer travel for passengers flying to popular destinations in France, Turkey, and beyond.

“We are delighted to embark on this partnership with Air Algérie,” said Aleksandrs, Chief Commercial Officer of Fly2Sky Airlines.

“This collaboration further reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional service and enhanced connectivity for our passengers.”

Aleksandrs continued, “The ACMI agreement highlights the strengths of our modern fleet and underscores our dedication to adapting to the ever-changing needs of the aviation industry.”

The contract between Fly2Sky Airlines and Air Algérie is in effect from April to October 2024. This partnership furthers Fly2Sky’s drive to fostering strong alliances and leverage growth within the aviation sector.

Air Algérie: Algeria’s National Carrier

Air Algérie, also known as Algeria Airlines, is the national airline of Algeria. Established in 1962, it operates a network of scheduled passenger flights connecting Algeria to various destinations across the globe.

Air Algérie serves as a vital link, transporting passengers to and from Algeria for business, leisure, and visiting loved ones. As the national carrier, it plays a significant role in the country’s economy and tourism industry.

The airline boasts a fleet of modern aircraft and operates out of its main hub, Houari Boumediene Airport in Algiers.

With a focus on providing a comfortable and convenient travel experience, the airline offers a range of services to cater to the needs of its passengers.

ACMI Explained

The agreement between Fly2Sky Airlines and Air Algérie is an example of an ACMI charter. ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance. This type of agreement allows airlines to collaborate in a flexible way.

Here’s how it works:

• The lessor (Fly2Sky): Provides an aircraft, along with a fully trained crew, maintenance for the duration of the contract, and insurance coverage.
• The lessee (Air Algérie): Takes responsibility for the flight operation itself, including marketing the flights, selling tickets, and managing ground handling (fueling, catering, etc.) at airports.

ACMI charters offer several benefits:

• Airlines can adjust capacity quickly: Airlines can utilize ACMI to meet seasonal demands or cover for unexpected situations like grounded aircraft due to maintenance.
• Reduced risk for new routes: Airlines can test new routes with minimal investment by using ACMI instead of committing to purchasing new aircraft or setting up their own operations in a new region.
• More efficient fleet utilization: Airlines with surplus aircraft can generate revenue by leasing them out under ACMI agreements.

Overall, ACMI charters are a valuable tool for airlines to adapt to changing market conditions and expand their network offerings.

SkyUp Airlines and Wizz Air have firmed a new ACMI charter agreement. The contract is to be effective from April 1, 2024, and extends until March 31, 2025.

This will involve the deployment of three SkyUp™ aircraft under ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) terms.

Two of these aircraft will be stationed in Bucharest (OTP), while the remaining aircraft will be based in Warsaw (WAW).

Stakeholder Comments

“ACMI operations are a core focus of our current growth strategy,” said Dmytro Sieroukhov, CEO of SkyUp Airlines.

“This agreement with Wizz Air is a significant step forward, building upon our successful past cooperation.”

“It further reinforces SkyUp™’s position as a trusted partner for Europe’s leading airlines, consistently delivering exceptional safety and service standards.”

Mauro Peneda, Head of Operations Control Centre at Wizz Air, echoed the positive sentiment, saying, “We’re delighted to expand our partnership with SkyUp.”

“Their unwavering commitment to operational excellence, safety, and professionalism aligns perfectly with our own values, as demonstrated during our previous collaborations.”

“This summer, we’re excited to reach new heights by working together with SkyUp to provide our passengers with an unparalleled travel experience.”

ACMI: A Flexible Aircraft Leasing Solution

The agreement mentioned above leverages a concept known as ACMI, which stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance. Essentially, it’s a type of aircraft leasing arrangement between two airlines. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

• The Lessor: In this case, SkyUp Airlines acts as the lessor. They provide three operational aircraft, complete with trained pilots, cabin crew, and maintenance support. They’re also responsible for ensuring all necessary insurance is in place.
• The Lessee: Wizz Air, the lessee, benefits from the additional capacity provided by SkyUp’s aircraft. This allows them to expand their operations without the long-term commitment of purchasing new planes. They handle tasks like fueling the aircraft, managing ground handling at airports, and covering any additional fees or taxes.

ACMI offers a flexible solution for airlines facing various situations. It can be particularly useful for:

• Seasonal Demand: Airlines can address spikes in passenger traffic during peak seasons by temporarily acquiring extra aircraft through ACMI.
• New Route Testing: ACMI allows airlines to test the viability of new routes without the upfront investment of deploying their own fleet.
• Maintenance Coverage: When an airline’s aircraft undergoes scheduled maintenance, ACMI leasing can help bridge any operational gaps.

Strategy Shift to ACMI Operations

SkyUp Airlines, a Ukrainian charter and low-cost carrier, took flight in May 2018 and is headquartered in Kyiv.

The airline now boasts a growing presence with operational bases in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Lviv. SkyUp has carved a niche for itself by offering attractive fares on popular destinations, making travel more accessible

This partnership with Wizz Air signifies SkyUp™’s strategic shift towards ACMI operations, initiated in 2022 following the start of the large-scale conflict.

Since then, SkyUp™ has steadily established itself as a reliable provider for various airlines. Its customers include Tunisair, FlyOne, HiSky SRL, HiSky Europe SRL, Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, Corendon Dutch, Tailwind Airlines, and FlyEgypt.

Their dedication to quality was further recognized in summer 2023 when ch-aviation included SkyUp Airlines among the top 20 ACMI service providers in European airspace.
