Jun 13, 2019 (newstodate): The Estonian carrier Nyxair, based at Tallinn Airport, is preparing for launch of flights in the UK.
The carrier has landed an ACMI contract with Loganair to provide flights in the UK out of Glasgow Airport, as well as a wet lease agreement with UK based operator to start Saab 340 passenger flights from July 4, 2019, at Carlisle Lake District Airport.
Nyxair obtained its AOC in March 2018 with one SAAB 340 aircraft in the fleet - but is on a growth path.
In the fleet are now two SAAB 340 passenger aircraft and one SAAB 340 freighter, but the carrier is also looking into sourcing a third SAAB 340 passenger aircraft, Jaanus Ojamets, Nyxair CEO, told newstodate in April 2019.
-Our focus is on the ACMI market where we find a strong demand for aircraft the size of the SAAB 340 that is excellent on shorter point-to-point routes where it operates smoothly and cost-efficiently with 30 to 36 seats, or some 3.8 tonnes of cargo capacity in the freighter version.
