A330 Introduction

Posted by António Santa Clara on 07/26/2010

Jetlantic is very happy to announce the introduction of two Airbus A330-243 aircraft (CS-TZG "Chão dos Louros" and CS-TZH "Salgados") into its fleet. Based in Porto, these aircraft will be primarily assigned to European high-density holiday routes.

The fleet expansion has allowed the addition of new destinations to the network, such as Egypt (Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and Luxor), Rotterdam and Thessaloniki, as well as a major expansion in terms of charter flights to Scandinavia from Porto and Faro.

New Chief Pilot appointed

Posted by António Santa Clara on 07/25/2010

Jetlantic is very happy to announce that Captain Pedro Berimbau has been appointed as its new Chief Pilot. Pedro is the most senior pilot in the airline with over 150 logged flights, and the first to break the barrier of 500 hours to reach the rank of Captain. His unrivalled knowledge of the airline's fleet and route network, as well as his real-life experience as a pilot will undoubtably be great assets to Jetlantic and all its pilots.
Pedro's previous position as Flight Operations Executive (FOE) has been taken over by F/O Dinarte Branco, whose experience and broad knowledge on matters such as ATC, flight planning, airport operations and aircraft performance make him the ideal person for this role.
A big thank you and congratulations to Pedro and Dinarte for their enthusiasm and dedication in taking on these roles, in another great step in Jetlantic's evolution.

A318 Introduction

Posted by António Santa Clara on 07/07/2010

Jetlantic is happy to announce the introduction of the Airbus A318 in its fleet. Based in Porto, this versatile jetliner will reinforce Jetlantic's scheduled European network. Its characteristics make it the only airliner of its type certified to operate into the famous London City airport, and as such the A318 will provide daily connections from Porto to the heart of London, providing Jetlantic's passengers with an unparalelled level of comfort and service.

In launching these new routes from Porto, special attention was given to the Portuguese expat communities around Europe - as such, new operations will serve cities like Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Geneva, Milan and Hamburg.

Don't miss out and come discover Europe aboard the A318!

Summer is here!

Posted by António Santa Clara on 07/02/2010

Summer is finally here in all its glory, and Jetlantic is also looking forward to this season full of promise. And what better way to celebrate summer than with new holiday destinations and routes?

The most remarkable event in the JVA summer is definitely the opening of several routes to the beautiful archipelago of Cabo Verde. Weekly flights will now take place between Porto and the islands of Praia, Sal and Boa Vista. In addition, a direct flight will operate on Sundays between Madeira and Praia. These services will undoubtably benefit the Cape Verdean community living in Portugal, as well as the thousands of holidaymakers to whom Cabo Verde's beaches just got closer.

Also great news for holidaymakers (and not only) are the new routes between Porto and Santa Maria and Terceira islands in the Azores, and a new weekly charter which will operate between Madeira and Biarritz.

Don't miss on the exclusive JVA summer... The skies are waiting!

New Fleet Updates

Continuing a policy of fleet updates, Jetlantic is proud to announce two new great contributions by its own pilots.

The first one is a new livery for our Boeing 737-800 CS-TWD by Dinarte Branco. Dinarte paid homage to the natural beauty of Madeira Island by integrating its image into a striking new livery, guaranteed to excite pilots and tourists alike - be sure to check it out.

Also great news is the textures for our Fokker 100 CS-TUD having been made available for FSX, through a package created by Álvaro Quintas.

Both textures are now available for download - to Álvaro and Dinarte, congratulations and our most sincere thanks.
