Ultra Air secures first aircraft
Ultra Air, a new LCC start-up in Colombia, has secured its first two aircraft. The aircraft in question are A320s N304AV (3044) and OE-LMM (2712). Both are owned by lessor Avolon and are currently being prepared at Tucson-International (AZ).
The airline is in the process of obtaining its AOC but has received approval from the civil aviation authority to serve both domestic and international destinations out of its base at Medellín. Domestically, it plans to serve Leticia, Pasto, Cali, Pereira, Bogota, Medellin, Bucaramanga, Arauca, Cucuta, Monteria, Cartagena, Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Riohacha, and San Andres island. Internationally, Ultra Air plans to fly to New York (NY), Miami (FL), Mexico City, Cancun, Punta Cana Quito, Lima, Peru, Aruba, and Curacao.
Ultra Air has been founded by a former CEO of Interjet in Mexico and has, reportedly, secured a lease-agreement with Airbus for up to forty A320s, including A320neos. It hopes to grow the fleet with eight aircraft per year.
