AELF FlightService has signed a 14-month contract with Windrose Airlines on an auxiliary freighter operated by Maleth Aero, in a deal negotiated by Air Charter Service. Beginning last week, aircraft owner AELF will fly cargo for the Ukrainian carrier on routes that include Kiev to New York and Kiev to Hong Kong. The routes will be serviced on an A330-200 MSN 700 in partnership with Malta-based Maleth Aero, on their AOC.
Under the contract, AELF FlightService will provide a sub-service on the converted passenger aircraft to Windrose Airlines, for routes on behalf of UkrPoshta, Ukraine’s national post.
Scott Collier, Director of Leasing EMEA for Air Charter Service, commented: “We are delighted to have secured this deal, which benefits all concerned. We have worked hand-in-hand every step of the way with AELF FlightService and we’re thrilled to have arranged this long-term contract for both them and our colleagues at Windrose.”
Vladimir Kamenchuk, General Director of Windrose Aviation Company added: “We are very excited about the cargo flights service that we now introduce together with AELF FlightService, Maleth Aero, Air Charter Service and our local partner, UkrPoshta. Freight transportation is in high demand, especially in these difficult times, so we are glad to offer these services to our customers and look forward to developing this business in 2021”.
This is the first wet leasing contract for AELF FlightService, which has been in the dry leasing business for several years.
