Avia Solutions Group, an ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, insurance) provider, has placed its first-ever with Boeing for 40 737-8 aircraft, with the option to acquire an additional 40 in the future. This acquisition underscores the Group's commitment to enhancing operational flexibility and meeting the diverse needs of airlines worldwide.

With 11 air operator certificates (AOCs), Avia Solutions Group operates an extensive network of airlines including , Smartlynx, , Air Explore, BBN, and Skytrans, among others. These AOCs serve clients across over 60 countries, providing year-round services to scheduled airlines and tour operators. The 737-8, a single-aisle aircraft known for its versatility, is particularly well-suited to ACMI operations, as it can operate profitably on both short- and medium-haul routes. This adaptability allows Avia Solutions Group to support client airlines with additional capacity during peak travel seasons or in the event of unexpected aircraft or crew shortages.

Brad McMullen, Boeing's Senior of Commercial Sales and Marketing, commented on the partnership, saying, “ACMI providers such as Avia Solutions Group offer important, flexible capacity to meet the dynamic demand in our industry and we are honoured Avia has selected Boeing airplanes to help meet that demand from its customers. By choosing the 737-8, Avia Solutions Group is aligning with its customers' plans to operate increasingly fuel-efficient fleets that improve the passenger experience.”

The 737-8 offers seating for 162 to 210 passengers, depending on configuration and boasts a range of up to 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km). Its efficient design not only reduces fuel consumption and emissions but also enhances the passenger experience with features like the Boeing Sky Interior and adjustable LED lighting, creating a spacious, comfortable cabin environment.

This strategic investment will allow Avia Solutions Group to support its clients' operations with a more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly fleet, meeting the rising global demand for ACMI services.
