Balkan Holidays tar inn A330 i flåten for longhaul

[Trdfly]

BH Air - Balkan Holidays Air (8H, Sofia) will add a first A330-200 to its books with the arrival of ex-Jordan Aviation (R5, Amman Queen Alia) machine, JY-JAJ (cn 255) according to Aerotransport. The Bulgarian scheduled operator currently employs two A319-100s and three A320s and it is believed the A330 will be used on longhaul flights to the United States should the carrier secure the necessary traffic rights.

The addition of the A330 will mark the first time a Bulgarian carrier has used an in-house widebody jet since Balkan Bulgarian Airlines (LZ, Sofia) operated two French-registered B767-200(ER)s, msn 24832 and 24854, up until the late 1990s.

BH Air - Balkan Holidays Air (8H, Sofia) is planning to start its first scheduled flights to the United States in spring next year using its sole widebody aircraft, an A330-200, LZ-AWA (cn 255). In an interview with the 24 Chasa newspaper, airline managing director Ianko Ivanov said initial services would include 4x weekly flights from Sofia to New York JFK and Chicago O'Hare though this is dependent on all requisite permits being secured. The launch would mark the first time a Bulgarian scheduled carrier has served the United States since the collapse of Balkan Bulgarian Airlines (LZ, Sofia) in 2002.

BH Air is also considering partnering Greek operator, Skygreece Airlines (GW, Athens Int'l), with plans to tap into demand for travel to the US in the Romanian, Serbian, Macedonian, Greek and Albanian markets.

Da tar de inn en B763 fra Ethiopian Airlines, samt planlegger SOF-JFK og - ORD fra Mai i år.

BH Air - Balkan Holidays Air (8H, Sofia) will partner Skygreece Airlines (GW, Athens Int'l) in launching transatlantic flights from Sofia to New York JFK and Chicago O'Hare beginning in May this year. Sofia Airport CEO Hristo Shterionov told the Sofia News Agency that the flights will operate 4x weekly.

The carrier applied to the US Department of Transportation for a Foreign Carriers Permit in February last year.

BH Air will shortly add a first B767-300(ER), LZ-AWB (msn 27909), to its widebody fleet which so far, has consisted of one A330-200.

Det stemmer, og LZ-AWB/-AWC to stk. B767-300 ble aldri tatt inn i flåten. MEN Skygreece fløy faktisk fra Sofia til New York før det ble Queen på radioen ...

Da har de altså nå en -200 og en -300 maskin?
