May 02, 2014 (newstodate): Despite having two aircraft in excess for its current flight program, Estonian Air is leasing fresh capacity for the summer season.
The carrier has signed a wet-lease agreement with Lithuania's DOT, a subsidiary of Denmark's DAT, for one ATR42-500 aircraft.
The aircraft will deployed to serving routes from Tallinn to Vilnius, Stockholm and Oslo during May 2014, with an option for prolongation of the contract.
In the carrier's fleet are four Embraer E-170 leased from Finnair until 2015 and three Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft, but the tailored route network requires only the capacity of five aircraft - leaving two in excess.
One E-170 has thus been placed with ACS for ad-hoc and leasing while another E-170 will be serving a new route between V�xj� Sm�land Airport in Sweden and Amsterdam starting from May 2014 with eight weekly rotations in a code-share with KLM.
