Jun 16, 2021 (newstodate): Avion Express Malta, the Lithuanian ACMI and charter carrier Avion Express' Maltese subsidiary, is now plying the skies in the Americas.
   Last weekend, the carrier performed its first passenger flights from Miami to Punta Cana with an Airbus A321 aircraft, joined by a second A321 aircraft on flights to the Dominican Republic.
   The operations are performed under an ACMI agreement between Avion Express Malta and the Dominican airline Sky Cana signed in May 2020, with the first of the two aircraft delivered in Sky Cana's livery in November 2020.
   Avion Express Malta obtained its Maltese AOC in May 2019, starting out with one Airbus A320 aircraft that commenced flights for Norwegian on May 20, 2019.
   Avion Express Malta applied for Foreign Air Carrier Permits and Exemption Authority by the US regulator DOT on July 3, 2019, and was granted rights on August 22, 2019, opening up for new business potentials as a provider of ACMI narrow-body services in the US market.
