Ascend Airways UK, a subsidiary airline of Avia Solutions Group – the largest ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) provider, has announced the addition of a Boeing 737 MAX 8 to its fleet. This move strengthens the airline’s position in the UK market and supports its strategic growth initiatives as the airline expands into counter cyclical markets to Europe.

The aircraft, subleased in December 2024 from Avia Solutions Group’s subsidiary, SmartLynx, was manufactured in 2017. Speaking about the addition, Alastair Willson, CEO of Ascend Airways UK, commented:

“This aircraft aligns perfectly with our strategy of offering the latest technology and most fuel-efficient aircraft to customers. The MAX 8 reduces CO2 emissions by 20% and has a 40% lower noise footprint compared to previous-generation aircraft. This enables our customers to reduce the environmental impact when adding capacity.”
