May 18, 2018 (newstodate): The Russian charter carrier iFly has taken delivery of its first narrow-body Airbus aircraft.
Now based at the carrier's hub at Moscow Vnukovo Airport is an Airbus A319, originally operated by easyJet and last serving with the Russian airlines RusLine, Tatarstan and VIM-Avia.
The latest delivery adds to iFly's fleet already comprising five A330-200 and one Airbus A330-300 as well as one Boeing 757-200.
In March 2018 the Chinese company Tempus Global Business Service Holding Ltd. announced its plans to invest in iFly for bilateral business cooperation, focusing on iFly to operate regular flights between China and Russia.
The two companies will cooperate in the opening of new flights between more Chinese and Russian cities, operated by iFly.
The Russian airline plans to offer at least 11 new flights during this year's summer season, including flights between Chinese cities such as Shenzhen, Taiyuan, Nanjing, Fuzhou, Changsha, Wuhan, Nanning, Jinan and Guiyang, and the Russian cities Moscow and St Petersburg.
Plans also comprise the opening of routes between Russia and Europe, the Middle East and the Caribbean, using Moscow Vnukovo Airport as a transit hub for Chinese passengers.
