FitsAir to lease 2 A320s

According to CH-Aviation, FitsAir from Sri Lanka is planning to add two leased A320s, which are expected to arrive around March. One will be deployed as a make-shift freighter, while the other one will carry passengers.

Currently, the airline's fleet consists of a single ATR72-600, two Cessna 152s and two Cessna 208s. It also wet-leases an A321 from Avion Express, which it uses on cargo-flights to mainly Dubai. However, this lease is due to end shortly.

FitsAir was established in 1997 as Expo Aviation and had an interesting fleet over the years. It launched operations with two Antonov An-8s, which were later replaced by two An-12s. In 2001 it added the An-26 and Ilyushin Il-18 to the fleet and was renamed ExpoAir. In 2002 three Fokker F27s joined the fleet and in 2006 a DC-8-63F, while the first F-27 left the fleet. In 2012 the first Cessna Caravan was added, and in 2013 the company was rebranded to FitsAir and a year later a single MD-82SF was added. 

In 2018 the airline reorganized, which saw the phase-out of their DC-8 and MD-82 and the introduction of their single ATR72.
