24.01.2010 - Albanian Airlines (LV/Tirana) is now controlled Azerbaijan based Evsen Group that has acquired a 93% stake in the carrier. It has announced an aggressive network and fleet expansion plan. It has introduced some new routes already: Tirana-Frankfurt Intl: 2x weekly BAe 146 service (already launched) (replacing route via Sarajevo that was dropped) Tirana-Sharjah: 3x weekly B757-200 service has started on December 16 It has already resumed twice weekly non-stop service from Tirana to Frankfurt Intl and has announced plans to add Amsterdam, Athens, Berlin Tegel, Dusseldorf Intl, Florence, Madrid, Jeddah, Paris CDG, Pristina, Sharjah, Tehran Imam Khomeini, Venice Marco Polo and Zurich to its network in 2010. Evsen Group has also announced that it would replace the BAe 146s currently operated by Albanian by some of the ex-KLM cityhopper (WA/Amsterdam) Fokker 100s that Evsen Group has acquired. The two ex-Singapore Airlines (SQ/Singapore Changi) B747-400s that Noor Airways has acquired are also supposed to be operated on behalf of Albanian at a later stage. Albanian has however already returned its single MD-82 to the lessor. It had also temporarily wet-leased four B737-300s and a B757-200 from Air Slovakia (GM/Bratislava) as well as a B757-200 from Noor Airways until earlier this month. 24.01.2010 - KLM cityhopper (WA/Amsterdam) has now announced plans to retain five of the seven remaining Fokker 100s and has equipped them with 100 instead of 108 seats to be able to operate the aircraft with two flight attendants. It will retire its last Fokker 50 on March 27. 11.10.2009 - Régional (YS/Nantes) has transferred its fifth and final Fokker 70 to sister carrier KLM cityhopper (WA/Amsterdam). It continues to operate six Fokker 100s. 11.10.2009 - Viking Hellas Aviation (VQ/Athens) is a new subsidiary of Viking Airlines (4P/Stockholm Arlanda) that is planning to operate regional scheduled services in Greece and Cyprus with four ex-Freedom Airways, ex-KLM cityhopper (WA/Amsterdam) and ex-SAS Norge (SK/Oslo Gardermoen) Fokker 50s and ex-Viking Airlines MD-83. 20.06.2009 - KLM cityhopper (WA/Amsterdam) has placed an order for seven additional EMB-170s in addition to its ten firm orders and nine options for the Brazilian regional aircraft. This would allow KLM cityhopper to retire its Fokker 50 and Fokker 100 fleets in 2010 when it would operate Fokker 70s and Embraers only. It has sold 15 Fokker 100s to Evsen Group, the parent of Eagle Aviation (France) (EGN/St. Nazaire) that is planning to use the aircraft for a new start-up carrier in the Middle East. KLM cityhopper has already parked the first 6 of its 20 Fokker 100. |
