Jun 14, 2013 (newstodate): The new Slovak carrier under formation, Go2Sky is close to taking delivery of its first aircraft, a Boeing 737-400.
-Expectations were that the take-over would be on June 15, but there is a slight delay and we now expect this to happen by Wednesday or Thursday next week, says Daniel Ferjancek, Go2Sky CEO and one of the carrier's founders.
-All paper work for the issuance of our AOC has been completed and we just need to fulfill the remaining requirement of having our first aircraft at our disposal. We there expect the AOC to be issued the day after delivery.
-Next, with the AOC on hand we can obtain the commercial license from the ministry, and this should also require just one day, meaning that we can start commercial operations shortly after this.
-Formally, the aircraft will be based at Bratislava, but in reality it will be stationed at Milan, Italy, as we think it is important to be close to the commercial market.
-We will be selling full-charter capacity via a broker, and plans are to operate through the broker for Italian tour operators. This will keep the aircraft busy for some of the days during the week, meaning that we will be actively seeking customers for ACMI operations on the remaining days.
-As the summer season is already progressing, we will be rather close to the winter season where business is less blossoming. We will therefore wait until next spring to take in a second aircraft, and after that we expect to add one aircraft per year provided the markets continue to develop, says Mr Ferjancek.
