“Every year we are concentrating on providing quality ACMI services to our clients. Compared to the previous high season when we had 18 Airbus A320 family aircraft in our fleet, we grew the number of aircraft to 22 this year. This growth was influenced by multiple factors, including the global grounding of Boeing 737 MAX fleet,” says Avion Express CEO Darius Kajokas. “Using the opportunity, I would like to thank our clients for the trust they show us by choosing our services and also heartily thank our team which demonstrated great spirit and efforts in order to make the current fleet size and H1 2019 production figures a reality,” he added.
