UK start-up has contracted Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (ACMI) specialist Hi Fly to accelerate the launch of the airline's operations. According to the airline's press-release, "Global Airlines will benefit from Hi Fly's expertise to accelerate the entry into service programme for the airline's new fleet".
Both companies will work together to get the four Airbus A380s acquired by Global ready, leveraging the expertise Hi Fly has had as the first secondary-market user of the A380. Hi Fly is also going to operate the A380 until Global Airlines is able to secure its own Air Operator's Certificate (AOC).
The statement also mentions that both will "explore further ways to broaden their collaboration, united by a passion for the aircraft, and a shared belief in its enduring potential and appeal".
The first Airbus A380 acquired by Global Airlines is former Hi Fly 9H-MIP (006), which has been stored at Tarbes-Lourdes since March 2021. According to the press-release it will be re-registered as 9H-GLOBL. The airframes of the other three A380s is currently unknown.
Global Airlines is planning to use its fleet of A380s to launch flights from London-Gatwick to, initially, Los Angeles (CA) and New York (NY). The ambition is to start flying in Spring 2024.
