Sep 04, 2019 (newstodate): The Estonian capacity provider Regional Jet is again to expand its cooperation with SAS by adding five more CRJ900 aircraft under a long term ACMI contract.
Three of the coming new CRJ900 aircraft will be based in Tallinn and two in Vilnius, with operations starting in March 2020.
The company initially landed a six-year contract with SAS in March 2017 covering operations from August 2017 with four ATR72-600 aircraft as a replacement for the Scandinavian carrier's earlier contract with Jet Time that pulled out of the turboprop market as part of its turn-around process.
The cooperation with SAS was next expanded in June 2019 as Regional Jet signed a long-term contract with SAS for operating eight ATR72-600 aircraft and two CRJ900 aircraft based in Denmark and Sweden.
Regional Jet started its operations in early 2016 and currently operates a fleet of 19 aircraft, including 12 CRJ700/900s and seven ATR72-600.
With the new SAS contracts and introduction of Embraer E195 aircraft for other long-term projects in Europe, the carrier's fleet will reach close to 30 aircraft by the end of 2020.
With 450 employees, 90 at the office in Tallinn and 360 crews based in Tallinn, Vilnius, Copenhagen, Billund, Aarhus, Stockholm and Warsaw, the carrier has been operating for Nordica, LOT, SAS, Air Serbia, Luxair, Flybe, LoganAir, Smartlynx, TUI Belgium, Great Dane Airlines, Blueislands and others during this summer's schedule.
