On January 24, 2022, European ACMI/charter airline Jump Air received its Type A commercial licence and has officially started its commercial operations. The airline, with its headquarters in Vilnius, Lithuania, has received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) No.LT.AOC.037 from Lithuania’s civil aviation regulator (Transporto Kompetencijų Agentūra – TKA) on December 31, 2021. Type A commercial licence was the last start-up document the airline had to obtain in order to begin commercial operations.
Jump Air is now fully staffed, crewed and licenced for commercial air operations and currently operates one ATR 72-500 aircraft that is momentarily parked at Orio al Serio International Airport in Italy. Jump Air plans to grow its fleet by two to three more ATR 72 units by the end of 2022, including an ATR 72 type freighter variant. The airline targets Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Asia Pacific as potential markets for charter and long-term wet-lease operations
