Global Crossing Airlines Group has inked a ACMI wet-lease agreement to operate two Airbus A320 aircraft for TUI Airlines Netherlands as the TUI group struggles to cope with the increased travel demand.
GlobalX will provide the Aircraft and qualified crews to TUI fly Netherlands for peak season flying in July and August 2022. From a base of operation in Amsterdam, GlobalX will provide daily flights throughout Europe. TUI cabin crew will work alongside Global Crossing Airlines staff to assist with service and information.
“We are honoured to fly for TUI fly Netherlands, part of TUI, Europe’s largest travel company and one of the great airlines of Europe. We greatly appreciate their confidence in us to fly their valued customers to their vacations. We expect to grow as a company by watching and learning from the best practices of TUI fly Netherlands in their daily operations as well,” said Ed Wegel, Chair and CEO of GlobalX.
“Each year TUI and its airlines require extra aircraft capacity to match the high season demand in our European markets. GlobalX, as new operator with an experienced team, offers a perfect match with our demands and we are happy to welcome them to our network,” said Roel Martens, Head of Aviation Leases of TUI.
GlobalX is a US 121 domestic flag and supplemental Airline flying the Airbus A320 family aircraft. GlobalX flies as a passenger ACMI and charter airline serving the US, Caribbean, and Latin American markets. In 2022, GlobalX will enter ACMI cargo service flying the A321 freighter, subject to DOT and FAA approvals.
