Felix becomes a member of AACO

The Yemeni-based regional carrier was at the AACO conference in Cairo and revealed it is in final negotiation to acquire a pair of Bombardier CRJ900 regional jets and take options on two more.

Chairman Saleh Al-Awaji also said that the airline could be into profit by the end of this year. It currently operates a number of domestic routes in Yemen using two CRJ 200s and two CRJ700s but wants the larger of the Canadian jets to help it increase international regional routes into Saudi Arabia.
