Hi Fly's Global Operations Span 74 Airports Across six Continents in the First Half of 2026

Widebody wet lease and charter operator Hi Fly served 74 airports across 41 countries and territories during the first six months of 2026, including operations at major international hubs and remote destinations.

As a leading widebody wet lease and charter specialist airline, Hi Fly's operations are defined by flexibility, global reach and the ability to support customers wherever they need capacity. A snapshot of the company's activity during the first half of 2026 illustrates the scale and diversity of those operations, with Hi Fly aircraft flying to 74 airports across 41 countries and territories, reaching six continents.

 

Operating a modern all-Airbus widebody fleet, Hi Fly provides tailored wet lease (ACMI) and charter solutions to airlines, governments, tour operators, freight forwarders, private clients and military organisations around the world. While destinations and operational requirements change constantly according to customer needs, the first six months of the year offer a clear picture of the airline's global footprint and its ability to deploy aircraft rapidly across multiple regions and operational environments.

 

During the period, Hi Fly aircraft operated to major international gateways including New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, São Paulo, Johannesburg, Victoria (Seychelles) and Caracas, while also serving a wide range of secondary and specialised destinations across Europe, Africa, Asia, North America and South America.

 

The breadth of the network reflects the variety of missions undertaken by the airline, from supporting scheduled airline operations and seasonal demand to delivering bespoke charter services and critical transport solutions.

 

Among the destinations served was Wolfs Fang Runway in Antarctica, one of the most remote aviation gateways in the world. Operations to such locations require meticulous planning, specialist expertise and the operational flexibility that has become a hallmark of Hi Fly's business. The inclusion of Antarctica in the airline's route network further illustrates the diverse nature of the missions carried out by Hi Fly and its ability to operate in environments ranging from major global hubs to some of the most isolated regions on the planet.

 

Commenting on the scope of the airline's operations, Captain Carlos Mirpuri, Chairman of the Hi Fly Group, said:

 

"At Hi Fly, we have always believed that no destination should be beyond reach. Operating across six continents in just six months is a reflection of our unique capabilities, the versatility of our Airbus widebody fleet and, above all, the dedication of our people. Whether supporting an airline during peak demand, carrying out a strategic charter mission or operating in one of the world's most remote environments, our focus remains the same: delivering safe, reliable and flexible solutions for our customers anywhere in the world."

 

The geographical diversity of Hi Fly's operations demonstrates the increasingly important role of ACMI and charter services in today's aviation landscape. Airlines continue to rely on flexible capacity solutions to support network growth, fleet transitions, maintenance requirements, operational disruptions and seasonal demand fluctuations.

 

By providing aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance through a fully integrated ACMI solution, Hi Fly enables customers to maintain continuity and respond efficiently to changing market conditions.

 

Alongside its ACMI activities, the airline continues to perform passenger and cargo charter operations worldwide, supporting a broad range of customers and mission profiles. This flexibility remains one of Hi Fly's defining strengths, allowing the company to adapt quickly to evolving requirements while maintaining the highest standards of safety, reliability and operational performance.

 

With more than two decades of operational experience, the strength of Hi Fly's worldwide operation remains constant: delivering tailored aviation solutions wherever customers need them, across continents, time zones and operational environments.
