Adria Airways boosts passenger numbers on ACMI services
Adria Airways has reported that more than 30% of flights in the 2018 first half were wet-lease services for other operators. Unveiling operational figures for the 1H, the carrier said it transported 577,000 passengers, an increase of 8.6% over the same period last year. It flew close to 10,000 flights (up 2.4% on 1H 2017), of which more than 3,300 were ACMI services. Adria said the latter figure was a “substantial” increase year-on-year, but did not give details. Load factors for the airline’s own scheduled service rose almost 2% compared to a year ago, but were still low by modern European and North American standards at 63.9%. In September, the airline plans to add 6 Saab 2000 turboprops from Jetstream Aviation Capital. It also plans to lease in more aircraft from other carriers. <br/>
