The airline currently has 2 Boeing 737MAX aircraft in its fleet and has plans to welcome up to 50 aircraft over the next few years. The airline previously operated an Airbus A320 on lease from Avion Express but has since retired it after Avion Express sold the majority of its stake to Mr Victor Pacheco.
