- It reinforces the position of the Spanish airline as a long-haul flight operator under the ACMI modality

Plus Ultra Airlines will support the flagship airline Tunisair on its medium and long distance routes. The agreement between both companies, under the ACMI (wet lease) modality, contemplates the incorporation of an Airbus A330 of the Spanish company, based at the International Airport of Tunisia-Cartago, from where the routes to Montreal and Paris will operate.

These operations will strengthen Tunisair’s capacity on high-demand routes, both medium and long distance, with the support of the crew and technical support of the Spanish airline. The ACMI model allows the operational capacity of a company to be adapted in a flexible and agile way, by including the supply of the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance by the operator who provides the service.

For Silvia Avelar, production director of the Spanish company:

“This agreement represents a significant step in the growth strategy. Collaboration with flag operators strengthens confidence in our operating model. This is the second contract with airlines in North Africa, after the one signed with Air Algérie, which consolidates our presence in the region and allows us to continue strengthening the ACMI division, a line of business that in 2025 reached 7,347 flight hours, with a growth of 45%.
