Enter Air (E4, Warsaw Chopin) has wet-leased two A320-200s from Bulgaria's Electra Airways (EAF, Sofia) for the Summer 2022 season.

LZ-EAC (msn 2322) was ferried from Varna to Katowice on June 12, while LZ-EAD (msn 2717) was ferried to Poznan the day before. The former operates exclusively out of Katowice, while the latter is based out of Poznan but also serves other Polish airports on W-routings, Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows.

Both aircraft are new additions to the Bulgarian ACMI/charter specialist's fleet, and the wet-lease with Enter Air is their first revenue deployment. Electra Airways operates one more A320-200, LZ-EAB (msn 308), which is currently wet leased to another leisure specialist in Poland, AMC Aviation (Poland) (AMQ, Warsaw Chopin), the ch-aviation fleets advanced module shows.

Enter Air's in-house fleet comprises twenty-three B737-800s and two B737-8s. It has a further six B737-8s on order from Boeing.

Chair Airlines (GM, Zurich) took delivery of its first A320-200, its largest type yet, on December 12, 2021, after HB-JOK (msn 3923) was ferried from Ostrava to Zurich in the Swiss carrier's livery. It has yet to be deployed into revenue service. The 12.6-year-old jet was previously operated by Aeroflot (SU, Moscow Sheremetyevo) and is owned by Merx Aviation Finance, the ch-aviation fleets advanced module shows.

The delivery was deferred in relation to the original schedule, which foresaw the induction of the type in November 2021. The A320 will join the airline's current fleet of two A319-100s, replacing a third A319-100, which was damaged beyond repair during maintenance at Naples Capodichino airport in mid-2020.

During the recent peak summer season, Chair Airlines supplemented its in-house fleet with a B737-800 wet-leased from 49%-shareholder Enter Air (E4, Warsaw Chopin). The addition of the third aircraft will therefore allow it to avoid wet-leasing in capacity going forward.
