On January 24, 2022, European ACMI/charter airline Jump Air received its Type A commercial licence and officially started its commercial operations.
The airline, which has its headquarters in Vilnius, Lithuania, received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) No.LT.AOC.037 from Lithuania's civil aviation regulator (Transporto Kompetencijų Agentūra - TKA) on December 31, 2021.
Jump Air is now fully staffed, crewed and licenced for commercial air operations. Jump Air’s current fleet consists of one ATR 72-500 72 seat passenger aircraft but the airline plans to grow its fleet by two or three more ATR72 units by the end of 2022 including an ATR 72 type freighter variant.
The airline targets Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Asia-Pacific as potential markets for charter and long term wet lease operations and is accepting short-term and long term inquiries.
