Avion Express Brasil has announced the start of the Phase 3 of the certification process for its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) in Brazil.
Recently the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) approved the finalization of Phase 2 of the certification process.
Avion Express, an aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance airline, has two AOCs – as issued by Lithuania and Malta.
The airline has undertaken an ambitious expansion project to strengthen its presence in the Latin American market with its subsidiary in Brazil, following recent collaborations with airline partners in other countries of the region, including Mexico, Chile, and Dominican Republic.
Darius Kajokas, Avion Express CEO said, “Avion Express has firmly established itself in Europe, and to make sure we continue growing, our strategic focus in past several years extends to other markets, including The Americas, Asia, Africa, and other regions. ACMI would be rather novel business model in the Brazilian market, which has more than 100 million passengers per annum. Avion Express Brasil aims to commence operations with up to 10 aircraft, with plans to scale up to 25 aircraft by 2027/2028.”
Specializing in narrow-body ACMI operations, Avion Express now operates a fleet of over 50 Airbus A320 family aircraft.
Avion Express is part of Avia Solutions Group – the world’s largest ACMI service company group, which operates a fleet of 212 aircraft. Companies belonging to the group also provide a variety of other aviation services, such as aircraft repair, pilot and crew training, and ground handling.
