Aug 23, 2022 (newstodate): The coming new ACMI and wet-lease provider SkyUp Malta has taken delivery of its first aircraft, expecting soon to be granted its AOC.
With this new Maltese subsidiary, the Ukrainian carrier SkyUp Airlines obtains rights for unlimited flight services within the EU region under an EU certificate.
SkyUp Malta's first aircraft, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft manufactured in 2011, is expected to enter commercial service by November/December 2022 after the carrier has obtained all pertinent licenses.
For a start, the coming new Maltese SkyUp MT will operate charter flights for tour operator JoinUp, the owners of which are also key stakeholders in SkyUp Airlines.
The carrier has plans to grow the number of aircraft on its coming AOC to 19 by 2023, partly by transferring aircraft from its Ukrainian AOC to the Maltese company.
In the fleet of SkyUp Airlines are today two Boeing 737-700 and 11 Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
