Pasifika Air of New Zealand is back on track after the announcement of a quarantine-free travel bubble with the Cook Islands from 17 May 2021. The startup aims to fly by 2021 end, once the AOC is issued.

S7 Group may create a new low-cost airline in Russia and is negotiating with Airbus and Boeing on aircraft leasing. S7 Airlines does not plan to change the current business model and switch to the low-cost segment.

Super Air Jet has yet to secure its Indonesian AOC, says the Transportation Ministry, as the paperwork is still being processed at the DGCA. The airline will operate with the IATA callsign IU and ICAO code SJV. The carrier is reported to have leased 20 aircraft.

The Canary Islands says its new airline backed by hoteliers and operated by One Airways will now be called Lattitude Hub.

In the meantime, the startup will look at a fleet of turboprops flying low-cost to about 19 destinations in Europe. Funding is still pending.
Moov Airways CEO Alvaro Nogueira de Oliveira says initial operations from summer 2022 will consist of short-haul flights out of Lugano with DHC8 and/or E-Jets. The carrier aims to introduce long-haul, low-cost flights thereafter with its eye on the A321XLR. Moov aims to roll out its funding plan, a Security Token Offer, later in 2021, as well as secure aircraft.
