With the Airbus, EAA’s fleet will have six aircraft: two Boeing 777-200s and three 767-300s used in ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) services for other airlines.
The aircraft is powered by GE CF6-80E engines and is configured with 295 seats, 12 in Business Class and 283 in Economy.
“We are excited to welcome the A330-200 to our fleet. The addition represents the next stage in EAA’s journey towards enhancing its operational capabilities and market presence,” celebrated Stewart Higginson, CEO and Chairman of euroAtlantic Airways.
Joe Cirillo, Chief Commercial Officer of AELF, added: “We are proud to partner with EAA on the lease of this A330-200 and support their ambitious fleet development. We specialize in providing tailored, flexible leasing solutions to dynamic operators like EAA, who are expanding their footprint in key global markets.”
euroAtlantic provides ACMI services for airlines such as LOT Polish Airlines (New York-Warsaw flight) and Azul Linhas Aéreas, between Lisbon and Campinas, Porto and Recife, and Madrid.
The Portuguese company also provides services for government entities, including the United Nations.
