NEW MODEL IN THE FLEET - SkyTaxi adds first B767-300 freighter

SkyTaxi (Poland) (TE, Wroclaw) has taken delivery of its first B767-300ER(BDSF), SP-MRG (msn 26388), to complement its two in-service B767-200(SF)s.

The 31.1-year-old aircraft was registered in Poland on September 19 and operated its first revenue flight directly from Wilmington, OH, where it had been parked since early September, to Santiago de Cuba and Riyadh on September 28-29. Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows it was then flown to Hamburg Helmut Schmidt and Ostrava.

It is leased from Cargo Aircraft Management and was last operated in passenger configuration by Air Canada rouge, prior to the conversion by Israel Aerospace Industries at Tel Aviv Ben Gurion.

"The addition of a bigger version of the B767 to our existing fleet will open new opportunities to explore," the airline's general manager, Grzegorz Rybczyński, said.

The Polish cargo specialist signed a Letter of Intent to lease four A330-300(P2F)s in 2022 but has so far not taken any steps towards the addition of the type. It did not respond to ch-aviation's request for comment.
