The 26-year-old aircraft, leased from UAE-based Ex Fusion, conducted its first flight on October 9, flying from Chisinau to Iasi, Piestany, and Liège.

Fleet Expansion Plans
The 737-300F joins Constanta’s fleet of eight Antonov An-26s and plans for further 737 acquisitions are underway to expand capabilities.
