Avion Express Malta, a subsidiary airline of Avion Express, has received its FAOC (Foreign Air Carrier Certificate) from Transport Canada, issued by the Minister of Transport on November 1.
Avion Express Malta started its operations in May and had been flying for Europe’s third-largest low-cost airline, Norwegian Air, for the whole summer season.
At the same time, new business areas for newly established Avion Express Malta had been explored and tabs were kept on the promising region across the Atlantic. Acquiring its FAOC becomes a significant milestone for the young Malta-based company, as the certificate serves as a prerequisite to air operators seeking to conduct an air transport service to and from Canada.
