euroAtlantic Airways is building a dual-fleet widebody strategy under new chief executive Pauls Calitis, pairing Boeing 777s and 767s with Airbus A330s to give the Lisbon-based ACMI and charter carrier more flexibility across customer missions. The airline is also set to expand its widebody fleet further in the coming months, with Calitis targeting a total of eight aircraft, including three A330s.
euroAtlantic historically relied on Boeing widebodies, but the arrival of its first Airbus A330-200 in late 2025 opened a new phase in the fleet plan. Calitis described the mixed-fleet approach as a way to match aircraft more closely to client requirements, rather than forcing Boeing-only solutions. He linked the shift to a broader plan of slow, profitable growth and a wider push to broaden the business through additional capacity and a better fleet mix.
The carrier’s move into Airbus aircraft also reflects a change in commercial positioning in the widebody ACMI market. The A330 addition gives euroAtlantic a second platform for long-haul charter and wet-lease work, while the 777 and 767 fleet remains central to current operations. The company is aiming to grow steadily rather than rapidly, with the dual-fleet model forming the basis of its near-term expansion.
