AirX expands the fleet with two A340-600s

Maltese carrier AirX has expanded the fleet with two former Iberia A340-600s. The aircraft, 9H-FFC (431) and 9H-LFC (440) were both registered to the company in January and will be used for AirX's ACMI-operations. The duo of A340s was retired by Iberia in March and both are currently residing at Chateauroux since September 2020 where they will now be prepared for their new owner.

AirX was founded in 2011 and has its main entity based in Malta. The company also has subsidiaries in Germany and the UK. In total it operates a fleet of one A340-300, three B737-500s, seven CL-850s, three Embraer ERJ190 Lineage 1000s, two ERJ135 Legacy 600s and four Cessna 750s. It's, however, reported that the three B737-500s are scheduled to be returned to their lessors later this year.
