Oct 16, 2023 (newstodate): As part of winding down the business entirely, the Swedish charter carrier Novair has now taken leave of the last of its two Airbus A321neo aircraft.
The first aircraft performed its last flight for the carrier on September 13, 2023, and the second and last aircraft took off on its final flight for Novair on October 9, 2023.
Both aircraft were redelivered to the lessor at Prague Airport pending new assignments after the completion of the redelivery procedures.
To compensate for this process, Novia last took in a Boeing 737-800 aircraft on a short-term wet-lease from GoSky to operate the final flights from Copenhagen under the contracts with tour operators Apollo and Bravo Tours expiring by the end of this summer schedule.
Novair lost its key contract with tour operator Apollo that has instead turned to the Swedish carrier BRA to provide Airbus A320 capacity for its charter operations under a three-year contract taking effect from the end of October 2023 when the current contract with Novair expires.
