13 months after receiving the AOC of the Republic of San Marino, San Marino Executive Aviation (SMEA) has started operating the first of its two Airbus A330-300 cargo planes, which joined its fleet last month. The aircraft is registered as T7-ULS, to remind observers of the name of its co-owner, ULS Airlines from Turkey. The other co-owner, Seres Aviation, specialises in aviation assets and insurance. T7-ULS can carry a 59 t payload. The second A330-300 will join the fleet in August 2021.
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic the company's first plane, an A300-600RF with a 47.5 t payload, carried out more than 600 medical flights with a dispatch reliability rate of 99.8%, carrying health equipment and medicines all over the world (except to the Americas and Australia). The addition of two A330-300s increases SMEA’s capacity and product range. SMEA pointed out the importance of San Marino’s civil aviation authority, one of the major contributors to its success. (ah)
