Carpatair is set to introduce its first A319. The aircraft, currently registered LZ-DBH (3041) is set to enter service in December and will become YR-ABA. It's now at Ostrava where it's been painted. This airframe was previously in use with easyJet as G-EZBK and will be leased via DAE Capital.
The A319 will join the airline's fleet of two Fokker 100s. Previously, Carpatair was planning to replace the two Fokkers with two ERJ190s but these plans have been abandoned during the Corona-pandemic. If the A319 is a new alternative replacement or an expansion of the fleet is currently unknown. Both Fokkers are almost 30 years old.
Carpatair was founded in December 1999 and nowadays offers charter- and ACMI-flights. Over the years, next to the Fokker 100s, it operated two ATR72s, two B737-300s, a single BAe146-200, three Fokker 70s, six Saab 340s and twelve Saab 2000s.
