We have been in different markets and grown consistently until 2019. Then, we plateaued and searched for opportunities as we saw the industry change around us during the pandemic, and we began planning the next phase and that was going to be based on growth.”
He noted: “Presently we are increasing our fleet, particularly with larger regional class aircraft. We are focusing on a 78 to 90 seating range. We expect to take a couple of more aircraft units on this year and then we are expecting to get it into traditional narrowbody equipment next year, which is the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 market.”Cemair has also embarked on a people-growth trail. Over the past year, the company has added almost two hundred new staffers to its books.
