Feb 23, 2021 (newstodate): The Irish aircraft leasing company Genesis has teamed up with Heston Aviation to form an alliance to build and launch the new Lithuanian carrier Heston Airlines.
   Since March 2020, Genesis has supported the strategy and development of the airline, completing the delivery of the airline’s first of three Airbus A320 aircraft in December 2020 to bolster the final stages of Heston Airlines' application with the Lithuanian CAA for an EASA Air Operator Certificate.  
   Genesis will work with Heston Airlines to deliver additional A320 aircraft as the airline enters service by mid-April 2021 to provide wet and dry leasing solutions to airlines as they expectedly start to take off with the vaccine roll-out across Europe.
   Managed by Jonas Rinkauskas as CEO,Heston is now recruiting flight crews, planning to grow the aircraft fleet to seven aircraft by 2022, and up to 10 aircraft at a later stage.
