Hans Airways, the UK’s new long-haul airline readying to fly to India, recently announced the arrival of its first Airbus A330-200 in the UK. The aircraft arrived at the Birmingham International Airport from the Palma Airport, Mallorca. CEO Satnam Saini, COO Nathan Burkitt and CCO Martin Dunn for Hans Airways were present at the airport to welcome the jet ahead of the formal technical handover and technical acceptance signing with the lessor.
“Our first widebody Airbus arriving into the UK is a big and significant milestone on Hans Airways’ journey to launch,” said Satnam Saini, Hans Airways, CEO. “These past 12 months we are very pleased to have added a wealth of competence and experience to our leadership and management team and recruited and trained up a full complement of exceptional pilots and cabin crew who will be ready to fly as soon as the airline’s AOC is awarded”, he added.
Hans Airways has formed a partnership with maintenance and repair overhaul specialist STS Aviation Services for Re-Registration tasks and Entry into service modifications ahead of its important route-proving flight for the UK Civil Aviation Authority in the upcoming weeks. The A330 will fly as a newly re-registered G-KJAS.
