Aug 04, 2021 (newstodate): The new Lithuanian charter and ACMI airline, Heston Airlines, headquartered in Vilnius, is adding wide-body capacity to its fleet.
   Announced today, the carrier has signed a lease contract with the Chinese-owned Irish aircraft leasing company Avolon for three Airbus A330-200 aircraft, the first of which will be delivered already by mid-August 2021.
   -Competitive leasing rates will allow us to offer flexible deployment for wet-lease and charter markets around the globe, the company says.
   In early July 2021, Heston Airlines that landed its AOC in May took delivery of its 3rd aircraft, an Airbus A320 leased from the Irish aircraft leasing company Genesis.
   Managed by Jonas Rinkauskas as CEO, Heston plans to grow the aircraft fleet to seven aircraft by 2022, and eventually up to 10 aircraft at a later stage, all placed on the charter and ACMI markets.
   In addition to serving customers in the passenger flights market, Heston Airlines will also seek a foothold in the cargo market, offering all-cargo flights will all passenger seats removed for full utilization of the capacity.
