ASL Airlines UK

A new British airline is born.

With the issue of the first fixed-wing Air Operator Certificate (AOC) by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) since Brexit, ASL Airlines UK has now taken its place in the ASL Aviation Holdings group of airlines which already includes four European airlines and two associated non-European airlines.

Essentially a cargo airline the maiden flight was by an ATR72-200 freighter from East Midlands Airport to Belfast International Airport.

Currently ASL is operating on the single route but is looking at opportunities to grow its domestic UK network and is applying for an EASA Third Country Operator (TCO) authorisation for cargo flights from the UK to Europe.

“The launch of ASL Airlines UK further strengthens our customer offering as a leading global aviation services provider”, said Dave Andrew, Chief Executive of ASL Aviation Holdings.
