Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas has signed an agreement with Tunisair to operate its medium- and long-haul routes under an ACMI contract, providing aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance.
The deal centers on services from Tunis Carthage International Airport to Montreal and Paris, two key connections for the Tunisian carrier. Plus Ultra will base an Airbus A330 at the Tunis airport to cover these high-demand routes.
This arrangement allows Tunisair to expand capacity on its transatlantic and European services. Tunisair currently operates flights from Tunis to Montreal using Airbus A330 aircraft, alongside frequent services to Paris.
Plus Ultra, a Spanish airline, has pursued similar ACMI operations, including a prior deal with Air Algérie for its Algiers-Montreal route using an A330-200. The company recently expanded its fleet with a seventh Airbus A330 and added frequencies on domestic routes while planning Madrid-Buenos Aires launches.
