Avmax recently delivered two aircraft, an Embraer 145, MSN 145510, and a DHC-8-300, MSN 256, to Fly Angola. These aircraft will be added to the airline’s mixed fleet operating within Angola.
Steve Hankirk, Avmax CEO, said: “I am happy to add Fly Angola to our African customer base and I look forward to growing and expanding upon our new relationship. Fly Angola is a promising new airline that is well-suited to meet the growing passenger demand in Angola. I believe that Avmax’s regional aircraft and experience working in sub-Sahara Africa will partner well with Fly Angola’s ambition and strategic growth plan, which will ensure that both parties will continue to prosper and grow well into the future.”
Scott Greig, Avmax Senior Vice President and Head of Avmax Aircraft Leasing, added: “With traffic in sub-Saharan Africa continuing to grow, in certain cases beyond pre-pandemic levels, the Angolan market is representative of this passenger demand increase, which justifies the additional capacity being deployed by Fly Angola. Fly Angola has demonstrated its commitment to providing a highly reliable scheduled service and this is underpinned by a solid business plan which includes introducing fuel-efficient regional aircraft like the Embraer 145 and Dash 8-300. This transaction demonstrates Avmax's full-service capabilities and support infrastructure.”
Fly AngolaCEO, Belarnicio Muangala, commented: “Avmax has walked the extra mile when it comes to tailored aviation solutions. We have come across a company willing to understand our needs and constraints. We see a strategic partnership taking shape and one that will boost our growth plans.”
In addition to leasing aircraft through Avmax, Fly Angola is also the African launch customer for Avmax's new insurance product through its subsidiary ARTS (Aerospace Risk Transfer Solutions).
