Jul 29, 2009 (newstodate): Albanian Airlines has placed a BAe 146 aircraft on an ACMI lease agreement with Jetlink Express, a Kenyan domestic and regional airline based at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Jetlink Express needs the aircraft to replace its Bombardier CRJ-200 used to serve the local destination of Kisumi, west of Nairobi, as the runway at Kisumi is being reconstructed for six months, resulting in only 1200 meters being available which renders it unsuitable for the CRJ-200 operation.
Albanian Airlines currently operates three BAe 146 aircraft , but with the recent wet-lease of a MD82 from Global Aviation, one BAe 146 was used as a back-up aircraft and so was available to undertake the ACMI contract.
