Sky Vision Airlines adds first aircraft, an A320

Sky Vision Airlines (SVI) took delivery of its first A320-200 on December 6, 2022, although it did not provide any updates on its certification and launch plans.

SU-SKB (msn 2204) is an 18.7-year-old jet formerly operated by the short-lived Brazilian carrier ITA Transportes Aéreos (IPM, Sao Paulo Guarulhos). It is owned by Carlyle Aviation Partners and was delivered to Hurghada after maintenance at Amman Queen Alia. The ch-aviation fleets advanced module shows that Sky Vision's second A320-200, msn 2589, remains in maintenance at San Bernardino. It is also an ex-ITA aircraft owned by Carlyle Aviation Partners.

The start-up said that having taken delivery of its first aircraft, it will now progress with its certification drive. Previously, it hoped to launch in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Sky Vision Airlines plans to base the aircraft out of Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh, one at each airport, to operate charter flights initially to the Middle East and other African countries. Once certified in the European Union, it will also launch services to Europe. In the second phase of growth, it is planning to add widebody aircraft to operate long-haul charters.
