On Thursday, 1st August 2024, the first charter in the ACMI operation departed from Riga.

The ACMI operation will continue until delivery of the aircraft that will join Air Arabia Maroc’s fleet, and Smart Aviation will work closely with all partners to manage ongoing availability and operations.

Smart Aviation’s Managing Director Mark Hawkins said: “The market for ACMI is currently very tight and time was against us, so I am delighted that we were able to secure the perfect option for Air Arabia Maroc. GetJet Airlines have been a trusted partner of Smart Aviation’s since they were founded in 2016, and we can always rely on them to deliver an efficient and timely service, with well-maintained aircraft and excellent crew. I am very pleased that the ACMI operation is running very smoothly”.

GetJet Airlines is an IOSA registered airline headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania.
