SmartLynx Airlines adds almost 200 destinations for summer 2024

European ACMI provider SmartLynx Airlines is to cover 191 destinations in 45 countries – spanning Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and beyond – for the upcoming 2024 summer season. “We’re observing a significant and consistent rise in travel demand, particularly in Europe,” explained Edvinas Demenius, CEO of SmartLynx Airlines. “As we have strategically focused on counter-seasonality, we can say that this year, the busy season isn’t just starting – for us, it’s continuing”. The airline anticipates operating around 30% more flights than last year due to increased travel demand. Demenius continued: “The perception and significance of ACMI in the industry are evolving. Our passenger fleet is well-booked for the remainder of the year and beyond – a rarity in the ACMI sector. This development underscores the growing recognition of ACMI services as a strategic, long-term solution, not just an ad-hoc measure”. This summer season, SmartLynx continues to provide services for clients including IndiGo, Ajet, TUI, air Transat and Air Peace.
