In August, the Katowice airport already celebrated the Boeing 757-300 of the Ukrainian airline Skyline Express as the largest narrow-body aircraft.
Skyline Express used to be called Azur Air Ukraine. Until February 2022, the airline specialized in the charter transportation of tourists of the Anex Tour tour operator from Ukraine. In 2023, Skyline Express received two Boeing 757-300s from a Turkish company, registered them in Ukraine, and in May began transporting tourists from Poland.
Skyline Express recently started operating flights from Warsaw-Radom Airport. This is already the fifth Polish airport where the carrier operates.
