Avia Solutions Group, which owns UK broker Chapman Freeborn and freighter operator Magma Aviation, is to acquire 100% of cargo carrier Bluebird Nordic and so step into the narrow-body ACMI cargo business.
Iceland-headquartered Bluebird Nordic, founded in 1999, operates one B737-300SF and four B737-400SFs.
With this new acquisition, Avia Solutions Group steps into the narrow-body ACMI cargo business. Being the biggest passenger ACMI group with one of the largest corporate airline in Europe, it is now ready to plunge into cargo operations.
Bluebird Nordic uses a fleet of six aircraft and operates scheduled as well as charter flights under its own brand. The airline also offers cargo export and import services from and to Iceland, serving more than 100 locations worldwide.
