Dec 9, 2008 (newstodate): The Danish privately-owned carrier Cimber Air plans to start operating two Boeing 737 aircraft from January 12, 2009.
Cimber Air recently announced the acquisition of the brand, slots and AOC of bankrupt carrier Sterling, and the introduction of the new larger aircraft is crucial to Cimber Air's plans as the airline currenly operates a fleet of smaller CRJ 200 and ATR aircraft only.
From January 2009, Cimber Air will base one Boeing 737 at Danish domestic airport Aalborg and another at Karup Airport.
Cimber Air further plans to build an extensive network of international routes at Denmark's 2nd largest airport, Billund, including flights to Malaga, Prague, Rome, Paris and Nice, in addition to routes to Oslo, London and Munich.
-If we are to grow from initially two Boeing 737 aircraft to a larger aircraft fleet, we will need infusion of external capital and cooperation with new investors, says Bjarne Rasmussen, Cimber Air Director Sales & Marketing.
The realisation of the extensive development program will expectedly require acqusition of a further six to eight aircraft, sources say.
