Aug 31, 2022 (newstodate): In "normal" times operating hi-class VIP flights with fancy air hostesses in the cabin, the Lithuanian carrier KlasJet has diversified its service portfolio significantly since the business disruption from Covid-19.
One new venue was adding cargo services, with KlasJet operating one of its Boeing 737-500 aircraft, specially compartmentalized to separate passengers, crew, and onboard medical staff from spreading the virus.
KlasJet also introduced all-cargo flights to its portfolio, taking in one Boeing 737-300 converted freighter in May 2020 on a one-year lease contract with Iceland's cargo ACMI and charter airline Bluebird Nordic, both airlines members of the Avia Solutions Group.
Now Klasjet is to offer passenger aircraft capacity to the ACMI market alongside its VIP services, operating seven aircraft including three Boeing 737-300 and four Boeing 737-500 aircraft while planning to add five Boeing 737 NG aircraft before the end of 2022.
