ASL Aviation Group rebrander om til ASL Airlines

[Trdfly]

Ireland-based ASL Aviation Group has announced it will launch a new European airline brand, ASL Airlines, as part of its ‘Platform for Growth’ strategy which aims to enhance the Group's role in various express integrator, passenger, and postal markets in Europe.

The announcement comes after ASL Aviation Group completed its acquisition of Swiss-based Farnair Group in December last year which, in addition to Farnair Switzerland and Farnair Hungary, also brought India's Quikjet (DQ, Bangalore Int'l) as well as a 45% stake in Thailand's K-Mile Air (8K, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi) under ASL's control.

As such, the ASL Group is being restructured into two divisions - European Airlines and Rest of the World Airlines and Leasing. ASL said its four European airlines - Air Contractors (AG, Dublin Int'l), Europe Airpost (5O, Paris CDG), Farnair Switzerland (FAT, Basle/Mulhouse/Freiburg), and Farnair Hungary (FAH, Budapest) - would be renamed ASL Airlines Ireland, ASL Airlines France, ASL Airlines Switzerland, and ASL Airlines Hungary respectively. In addition, each subsidiary will become a Centre of Excellence alongside ASL's South African unit, Safair (FA, Johannesburg O.R. Tambo), which will focus on the African market.
