Mar 05, 2021 (newstodate): Great news for Great Dane Airlines: the ACMI contract with Bamboo Airlines in Vietnam has been extended by one month.
   -We received confirmation only yesterday evening that the contract will run for one more month, till the end of April 2021 instead of end of March as stated in the original papers, says Thomas Hugo Moller, Great Dane Airlines managing director.
   -Besides being in itself positive news, the extension of the contract also bridges the gap between the end of the Vietnamese operation and the start of the summer charter schedule - translating into a full and continuous operation in times otherwise marred by the effects of the pandemic on the aviation industry.
   -As the operation in Vietnam terminates, one aircraft will fly directly to Poland for maintenance at LOT Aircraft Maintenance Services' facility at Warsaw Chopin Airport while the other aircraft will return to Aalborg with the crews before heading to Poland for maintenance, too.
   -Both aircraft as well as our third E195 E-Jet aircraft will thus be ready for the start of the summer charter flights, says Mr Moller.
    Early in February 2021, the carrier announced a contract with tour operators Spies in Denmark and Ving in Sweden to operate a weekly flight from Copenhagen and Gothenburg, respectively, with an Embraer E195 aircraft, during the period from May 27, 2021, till September 30.
    Great Dane Airlines next published a fresh order with Danish tour operator Bravo Tours comprising some 24 weekly flights from the Danish airports at Aalborg, Billund and Copenhagen to leisure destinations in Southern Europe during the summer schedule.
