EGO Airways secures AOC

Italian start-up EGO Airways has received its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) on 19 November from the Italian civil aviation authority ENAC. This now clears the way for the airline to start commercial operations out of its base at Milan-Malpensa.

The airline currently has a fleet of one ERJ190, registered I-EGOA, which is leased from WDL Aviation. The idea is to expand the fleet with additional ERJ190s next year.

EGO Airways was founded last year and wants to first start with offering charter-flights and move to scheduled flights by summer next year. Domestically, the airline wants to connect Milan-Malpensa with Florence, Pisa, Pescara, Venice and Verona. EGO also wants to serve Ljubljana in Slovenia as its first international destination.
