ASTRAL AVIATION FURTHER STRENGTHENS IN AFRICA

Astral Aviation has signed up to lease three B757 freighter aircraft from Aquila Air Capital due to be delivered in November. After adding these aircrafts, Astral Aviation will become the largest B757F operator in Africa and Middle East, in addition to being the only B767F operator in the region. The aircraft will take over the Nairobi-Johannesburg and Nairobi-Dubai scheduled service with increased frequency for our clients in addition to new scheduled routes to and within Africa and Middle East in 2022. In addition to this, it will also offer point-to-point solutions for Covid-19 vaccines (from India/UAE to Africa) in addition to e-commerce shipments to new markets. The B757F is a fuel-efficient, mid-range and narrow-body freighter, with a payload of up to 30 tons and a range of five hours, which makes it a perfect freighter for the African, Middle East & Southeast Asia region.
