We have 2 hubs; 1 in Maastricht (EHBK) and 1 in Rotterdam  (EHRD). We’re also planning a new hub… Well, let’s get to the point. We  have added the Fokker 50 to our fleet, after that we created new routes  for it, and now we’re looking for pilots to fly. Of course we have other  planes as well. For example, we also use the Cessna 208B, Twinotter  (DHC6-400), Pilatus PC12 and the Beech King Air B200. CityLink always  has a freeware alternative, which the Dash 8-q300 instead of the Fokker  50.</p>

With the certification, SparkJet is now recognized as a top virtual airline operating on an excellent and professional network.</p>
<p>In other news, SparkJet announced that it has officially opened the new crew bases in CYYC and SCEL. &#8220;These new bases and operations enable SparkJet to introduce the world with a superior product for a lower cost, bringing joy back to flying&#8221; was what SparkJet CEO Zeke Elias said during the press conference. Currently the bases operate with four and two B737-600 aircraft respectively, with plans for further expansion and upgrading if there is enough demand.</p>
<p>SparkJet&#8217;s management team has also been traveling back and forth to Sydney, Australia during the past two months and have placed requests with the Australian government for authorization to begin service from YSSY to points around the country. When asked, Zeke Elias stated &#8220;We are all ready to begin service, all we need is approval and ferrying of the aircraft which should occur later this week.&#8221; In order to support the operation Boeing has leased SparkJet two B747-400&#8242;s for service to OMDB, YSSY and RJAA.</p>
<p>SparkJet is still actively working in expanding its operations at SCEL, CYYZ and YSSY. SparkJet  is still taking applications for First Officers out of their KABQ or KFLL Hubs or their focus cities in KSFO, KJFK, CYYC and SCEL, interested?

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3922" title="freshjet logo" src="http://vaflash.com/wp-content/uploads/valogos/freshjetlogo.png" alt="" width="237" height="80" />GLASGOW, UK &#8211; freshJet has announced an order for 2 Airbus A330-300 aircraft to operate longhaul services from 2013. The aircraft will be based in Glasgow and Manchester to operate long-haul services. Although not confirmed, destinations may include Orlando, Vancouver, Cancun and Dubai.</p>
<p>The aircraft will be configured in a 2-class configuration with a seating capacity of 335 passengers.</p>
<p>CEO Iain Robb had this to say:<br />
&#8220;While it&#8217;s a tremendous challenge moving into the long-haul market, I feel that the time is right and that our long-haul destinations will be a tremendous success for the airline as we can offer yet more new routes to our passengers. Our two-class configuration on board is a unique product for us as a low-cost carrier which we hope will help to make us stand out in the low-cost market. Passengers will have the choice between Economy and Premium Economy products and we hope that the latter will help to establish ourselves as a high-quality airline.&#8221;</p>
<p>The initial delivery is expected in August 2013.</p>
<p>Summer 2013 will also see more expansion for freshJet. New services to Gdansk, Venice, Split, Budapest, Athens and and Rome will also contribute to our continuing success in the European short-haul market.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our new European routes for Summer 2013 will only contribute to further success for us. Our new routes allow us to expand further into Eastern and Southern Europe, including both holiday destinations and city break opportunities.&#8221; added CEO Iain Robb.</p>
<p>These new services begin in May 2013.</p>

We will be branching across the United States and  neighboring countries flying our elite clients to new exciting  destinations.

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>About Ohio Express</strong><br />
Ohio Express Airlines launched their operations March 7, 2011. Ohio  Express Airlines was founded by Chief Executive officer and President  Justin Caughenbaugh in Early July of 2010. Ohio express was developed to  connect Ohio to major parts of the eastern part of the country and a  few International destinations.  Ohio Express is designed to emulate a  real airline from the bottom up. Like the real business world, money  matters! We’ll grow like an airline grows, composed and calculated. You  can count on it. We begin our operations with a fleet consisting of an  Beechcraft B1900-D for our short local routes, We will have an Embraer  145 to take our passengers to all of our domestic destinations and the  last aircraft the Ohio express offers is the Boeing 757-200 with state  of the art technologies like, direct TV on board at every seat,  satellite radio provided by sky blue Radio, and in flight internet.<br />
<strong><br />
Our Fleet &amp; Destinations</strong><br />
We offer a great aircraft selection, with a choice of several repaints, created by some expert aircraft painters.<br />
·         6 Embraer 145LR<br />

·         1Boeing 757-200<br />

There simply was no other choice  available for the steep approaches and departures at these two locations  than the A318 with it&#8217;s Steep Approach Mode and Fly By Wire.&#8221; The  airline immediately secured a lease for one A318 with the enhanced  capabilities while placing an order for purchase for one from Airbus for  expedited delivery. Air Fresno is also acquiring one A319, two A320&#8242;s  and one A321,  with the A319 arriving by mid-January. As each new variant arrives Air  Fresno will expand it&#8217;s routes for that model. &#8220;Investment in these  aircraft is going to be substantial, we wanted to make sure the choice  we make today is going to still be the right one at the end of 2012&#8243;.  Cost for the five planned aircraft is estimated at $305 million, with  the last aircraft set to arrive my the end of March. Air Fresno&#8217;s new  aircraft and revised familiar livery can be seen at <a href="http://www.airfresno.com/" target="_blank">www.airfresno.com</a>.</p>
