FLEET - Portugal's euroAtlantic Airways to add two more A330s

euroAtlantic Airways (YU, Lisbon) says it plans to add two more A330s, increasing its current fleet from six to at least eight aircraft by mid-2026, and expects to add a ninth unit by 2027 as part of a long-term growth strategy dubbed New Era 2030.

The Lisbon-based ACMI/charter specialist, backed by UK-based investment firm Njord Partners, said it anticipates expanding its fleet by at least one aircraft per year, reaching a minimum of 12 by 2030 if current market conditions continue.

In an interview with UK magazine Transportation & Logistics International, CEO Stewart Higginson said the company plans to induct two more A330s having recently diversified its fleet with the addition of its first Airbus aircraft, A330-200 CS-TGD (msn 489), leased from AELF - Aircraft Engine Lease Finance, following decades of flying exclusively Boeing jets.

"As well as the A330-200, we’ll also be inducting two more Airbus A330 units into our fleet which are slightly different capacity models in terms of seating," he disclosed.

Higginson said the fleet expansion is central to euroAtlantic’s New Era 2030 strategic plan, which centres on developing a flexible fleet focused on ultra-long-range, high-payload widebodies.

A major turning point for euroAtlantic Airways came in 2024 when London-based Njord Partners became its majority shareholder. The investment firm injected fresh capital to revive an underfunded, largely non-operational fleet in the aftermath of the pandemic. Within a year, euroAtlantic added new aircraft, secured large contracts, and regained lost market share. Higginson said the move also restored confidence among lessors, banks, customers, and employees, while a rebuilt management team strengthened governance and accelerated the company’s turnaround.

"Sixty per cent of our capacity for the year ahead already sold out for long-term projects on behalf of our partners, and we plan to continue to expand our fleet and aim to be the top supplier in our specific niche," added CCO Raúl Largo.

euroAtlantic's current fleet comprises of one dry-leased A330-200, three B767-300ERs (two company-owned and one leased from Hainan Airlines and stored at Naples Capodichino); and two company-owned B777-200ERs, according to ch-aviation data.

FLEET - Portugal's euroAtlantic Airways adds first A330, plans more

euroAtlantic Airways (YU, Lisbon) has added an A330-200 under a dry-lease contract with AELF - Aircraft Engine Lease Finance as part of its fleet expansion strategy. This is the first ever Airbus aircraft in the fleet of the Portuguese ACMI specialist.

euroAtlantic Airways told ch-aviation that it expects the A330 to enter service by early August 2025. It plans to add more aircraft of the type in the future.

CS-TGD (msn 489) is a 23.1-year-old aircraft powered by General Electric CF6 engines and features a dual-class cabin layout with 283 seats in economy and 12 in business class. The airframe was delivered new to Qatar Airways in 2002 and was subsequently taken up by its then subsidiary Air Italy in 2018. Maleth-Aero operated the aircraft from 2022 to 2025 as 9H-EFS.

According to Flightradar24 ADS-B data, the aircraft is currently parked at Marana.

euroAtlantic Airways also operates three B767-300ERs and two B777-200ERs. Its current ACMI customers include Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras and LOT Polish Airlines.

EuroAtlantic Airways retires only B737-800

 euroAtlantic Airways (YU, Lisbon) has transitioned to a widebody-only operator with the retirement of its last B737-800, ch-aviation research has revealed.

CS-TQU (msn 30646) had been inactive since March 2020 and remained under maintenance at Budapest throughout the early waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was ferried to Castellón on March 3, 2021, and put in deep storage, only to be reactivated and ferried to Shannon on July 13, 2022, Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows. The aircraft was re-registered in the United States as N30646 on August 15 and is due to be ferried across the Atlantic shortly.

Following the retirement of the B737-800, euroAtlantic Airways' fleet comprises four B767-300(ER)s and three inactive B777-200(ER)s. The Portuguese ACMI/charter specialist has primarily focussed on widebody aircraft, although it did operate up to two B737-300s (retired in 2006) and up to two B757-200s (exited from 2011), the ch-aviation fleets history module show

Portugal's euroAtlantic to add two used B787s in 2Q21

euroAtlantic Airways (YU, Lisbon) has signed an agreement with AerCap for the lease of two used B787-8s. According to the lessor, the two Boeing widebodies will deliver during the spring of 2021 and will be the first B787s to be based in Portugal.

"With these 'new' aircraft, euroAtlantic will provide next-generation widebody ACMI services to the global market while at the same time enhancing their fleet operations," Aengus Kelly, CEO of AerCap, said.

The Portuguese ACMI/charter specialist, which was taken over by a consortium of private investors last year, currently operates an all-Boeing fleet that includes one B737-800 (operating for Air Peace), six B767-300(ER)s, and one B777-200(ER).
