German Airways

ACMI specialist German Airways intends to buy Embraer 190s in future, rather than leasing them, as at present.

KLM Cityhopper, the regional subsidiary of the Dutch flag carrier, is leasing in extra capacity over the northern hemisphere summer season.

The ACMI market promises a steady source of work for the next few years at least, according to the head of one of Europe’s oldest airlines.

Three routes targeting business traffic will begin in March using leased E190s, while authorization has been secured for service to Buenos Aires.
