Bluebird Nordic seeks operating permit for Slovakia as part of central Europe expansion

Icelandic leasing and cargo airline Bluebird Nordic aims to get an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) in Slovakia as part of plans to double its fleet to 25 aircraft and add to its capacity in central Europe. “Slovakia is ideally positioned in the middle of Europe, which offers great opportunities for a wider geographical coverage,” said chief executive Audrone Keinyte. Bluebird Nordic is part of Avia Solutions Group, which recently moved its headquarters to Dublin, along with SmartLynx Airlines, Avion Express, BBN Airlines, KlasJet and Magma Aviation.
