Slovakian wet-lease specialist AirExplore has introduced another Boeing 737-800 to its fleet, bringing the total to 11.
The latest jet has been leased from Aviation Capital Group.
It brings the AirExplore fleet to nine 737-800 passenger jets and two 737-800 freighters.
The aircraft has previously operated with carriers including the French division of budget airline Transavia.
AirExplore says the twinjet (OM-PEX) has been configured with an all-economy layout of 189 seats.
Chief executive Martin Stulajter says the company’s strategy is to deploy half the fleet on year-round contracts and retain the other half for peak-time seasonal services.
“With ongoing aircraft shortages in the market and persistent delivery delays, adding a passenger aircraft gives us a strategic advantage,” he adds.
“We are ready to meet our customers’ needs in a various regions, and securing this [aircraft] provides us with the additional flexibility we need to do so.”
AirExplore is based in Bratislava, and is one of the operators under Avia Solutions Group.
