Animawings has new owner and plans A220s/A320neos

On 15 February 2024, Aegean announced it has sold its 51% stake in Animawings to Romanian company Momento Group, which is now the sole owner of the airline. As a result of the sale of its shares, Animawings is also returning both its leased A320s to the Greek carrier. YR-AGA (3162) was returned on 27 December 2023 and is now flying again as SX-DGI, while YR-AGB (3316) is currently at Bucharest and being prepared for its return.

Once both aircraft are returned, Animawings will not have any plane in the fleet until March/April, when it is planning to take delivery of two leased Airbus A220-300s. It's currently unclear where the aircraft are sourced from.

According to its new owner, Animawings plans to grow the fleet to twelve aircraft in the coming three years and is specifically mentioning more A220s but also the A320neo as types.
