Apr 19, 2022 (newstodate): Avion Express, a member of the Lithuanian aviation group Avia Solutions Group, is deepening its partnership with Sky Cana, a start-up airline headquartered in Santo Domingo.
   The two companies first signed an ACMI agreement in May 2020, with the first of two Airbus A321 aircraft delivered in Sky Cana's livery in November 2020.
   In December 2021, the cooperation was expanded with the addition of a third Airbus A321 aircraft from Avion Express Malta, allowing Sky Cana to open its first scheduled flights from Punta Cana to New York from December 15, 2021.
   Now, Avion Express has signed a new contract in April 2022 to wet-lease three Airbus A321s and one Airbus A320 aircraft to operate on behalf of Sky Cana for a one-year period starting from April 2022 until March 2023.
   The Lithuanian ACMI and charter carrier Avion Express' Maltese subsidiary 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.
