Niceair (Akureyri) has enlisted Hi Fly Malta (3L, Malta International) to operate an A319-100 on its behalf when flights commence later this summer.
The start-up virtual carrier said it would run the following routes out of Akureyri:
- Copenhagen Kastrup (2x weekly starting on June 2),
- London Stansted (2x weekly starting on June 3), and
- Tenerife Sur (weekly starting on June 8).
Niceair's initial schedule is valid through September 30, 2022, although more routes may be added. It hopes to capitalise on both the inbound and outbound market from northern Iceland, bypassing time-consuming connections via Reykjavik Keflavik.
Hi Fly Malta operates two A319-100s. One is currently stored at Rome Fiumicino and the other is at Beja, the ch-aviation fleets module shows.
