Ascend Airways has received approval from the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for its updated Air Operator Certificate (AOC), Type A Operating License, and Route License, signaling the green light for the airline to commence its flight operations. Ascend Airways, a recent addition to Avia Solutions Group’s (ASG) portfolio of ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance) airlines, is poised to make its mark in the aviation industry.
Avia Solutions Group, recognized as the world’s largest ACMI provider boasting a fleet of 212 aircraft, sees the granting of the UK AOC as a strategic move that ensures unrestricted access to the UK ACMI and charter market. This development is expected to bolster ASG’s market share significantly, not just in the UK but globally as well. Ascend Airways plans to kick off its operations with a fleet consisting of two Boeing 737 aircraft, with ambitious plans for fleet expansion in the coming years.
