Narrow-body ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) and Charter operator Avion Express – a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group – is planning to expand in South America by establishing an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) under Brazilian regulations. Chief executive Darius Kajokas said the new airline will operate a fleet of Airbus A320 family aircraft for cargo and passenger operations, including Airbus A321F freighters. It is expected to commence operations in late 2023 or early 2024.
