Avmax has delivered two aircraft, an Embraer 145 and a DHC-8-300, to Fly Angola.

Delivered in late October, these aircraft will be added to a strategically planned mixed fleet capable of efficiently operating all domestic routes within Angola.

Avmax has worked for years with African airlines, developing their fleets based on their routes, passenger demand, and the types of airfield they’ll be operating in and out of. The company specialises in regional aircraft, and are well-suited to handle domestic routes in Africa.

Steve Hankirk, Avmax CEO, said, “I am happy to add Fly Angola to our African customer base and I look forward to growing and expanding upon our new relationship. Fly Angola is a promising new airline that is well-suited to meet the growing passenger demand in Angola. I believe that Avmax’s regional aircraft and experience working in sub-Sahara Africa will partner well with Fly Angola’s ambition and strategic growth plan, which will ensure that both parties will continue to prosper and grow well into the future.”

Scott Greig, Avmax Senior Vice President and Head of Avmax Aircraft Leasing Inc. (AALI), said: “With traffic in sub-Saharan Africa continuing to grow, in certain cases beyond pre-pandemic levels, the Angolan market is representative of this passenger demand increase, which justifies the additional capacity being deployed by Fly Angola In addition to leasing aircraft through Avmax, Fly Angola is also the African launch customer for Avmax’s new insurance product through its subsidiary ARTS (Aerospace Risk Transfer Solutions).”

Fly Angola’s CEO, Belarnicio Muangala, also said, “Avmax has walked the extra mile when it comes to tailored aviation solutions. We have come across a company willing to understand our needs and constraints. We see a strategic partnership taking shape and one that will boost our growth plans.”
