Jan 10, 2022 (newstodate): The Lithuanian charter and ACMI airline Heston Airlines is now readying its second wide-body aircraft for commercial operation.
Like the first Airbus A330 for the airline, the Airbus A330-300 aircraft, formerly operated by Aeroflot, is delivered on a lease contract with the Chinese-owned Irish aircraft leasing company Avolon after completing its Zero-LOPA conversion to be operated on all-cargo flights.
Heston Airlines has signed a lease contract with Avolon for three Airbus A330-200 aircraft; two of the three aircraft will initially be operated as all-cargo aircraft with all seats removed, while the third will be available for charter and ACMI passenger operations.
Managed by Jonas Rinkauskas as CEO, Heston Airlines 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.
