Aug 23, 2019 (ne4wstodate): The Danish charter and ACMI carrier Jet Time has landed a significant order with tour operator Apollo for summer 2020.
Under the contract, Jet Time will allocate one Boeing 737-700/800 aircraft to lifting some 55,000 charter tourists between Scandinavia and Mediterranean leisure destinations.
This corresponds to about 15 percent of the airline's charter production with nine Boeing 737NG aircraft in the summer schedule, leaving its remaining two Boeing 737NG aircraft in the ACMI market as well as providing spare capacity to support its regularity.
Earlier this month, Jet Time finalized the proceedings with Aercap for lease of two Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The two aircraft, the first in Jet Time's fleet equipped with split-scimitar winglets, are currently operating for TUI in Germany and the Netherlands, but will be delivered by December 2019 and enter commercial service with Jet Time around January 2020.
The two aircraft will replace two Boeing 737-700 aircraft leaving Jet Time's fleet in 2020 at the expiry of the lease contract.
In the fleet are now 10 aircraft including six Boeing 737-700 and four Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The fleet will grow by one to two aircraft during summer 2020 but go back to 10 aircraft again, once the two Boeing 737-700 have been redelivered.
