Jul 24 2023 (newstodate): Never off the news screen for long, Lithuania's Avia Solutions Group with HQ in Ireland has announced the acquisition of the UK-based carrier Synergy Aviation, Ltd.
Soon to be rebranded as Ascend Airways, Synergy Aviation Ltd holding an AOC and a Type B Operating License from the UK CAA will enable the Group to bolster its position in the UK aviation market.
Founded in 2004, Synergy Aviation specializes in VIP, aero-medical and air ambulance flying, urgent freight and AOG support, and tasks in zones of conflict with a small fleet of Citation aircraft.
ASG has long been present in the UK aviation market managing MRO and Charter Brokerage businesses, but adding a UK AOC will generate new opportunities for the Group in the UK and enable it to expand the geographic reach of ACMI and Charter services with 180 to 200-seat capacity aircraft by the end of the year.
ASG's airline companies include SmartLynx Airlines, Avion Express, Bluebird Nordic, BBN Indonesia Airlines, KlasJet, and Magma Aviation.
