Global Crossing Airlines enters joint venture wiith ATB Aviation Australia

Global Crossing Airlines (JETMF) Group has entered into a joint venture with ATB Aviation Australia to establish a new airline headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. Serving the Asia-Pacific region, a market with dynamic growth potential, the new airline will operate as a charter airline, offering both charter and ACMI services. This aviation model promises unmatched convenience for passengers and businesses across the APAC region. The charter and ACMI business models are widely recognized for efficiency, flexibility, and economic viability, particularly in comparison to traditional commercial airlines. Like its US counterpart, the new joint venture entity will provide both passenger and cargo transportation services to Australia and key Asian markets. The joint venture entity will fly a fleet of Airbus A320 family of aircraft following the successful completion of all regulatory and compliance requirements, including obtaining its initial application, approval, and obtaining an Australian Air Operator Certificate. Targeting a start of operations in late 2025, the new joint venture entity aims to expand its fleet to 10 aircraft within its first five years of operation.
