Play alza il velo sui voli per gli States: si parte con Washington e Boston

Saranno l’aeroporto di Baltimore Washington e quello di Boston Logan le prime due destinazioni del nuovo servizio a lungo raggio che verrà attivato dalla compagnia aerea islandese Play.

Dopo le anticipazioni delle scorse settimane sull’intenzione di inserirsi nell’importante mercato delle rotte transatlantiche, la compagnia ha rotto gli indugi e alzato il velo sull’inizio della programmazione sul Nord America. Entrambi i voli, che inizieranno rispettivamente il 20 aprile e l’11 giugno, partiranno dallo scalo di Londra Stansted e faranno una sosta a Reykjavik.

Secondo quanto riportato da Routesonline, Play al momento collega 5 destinazioni europee con l’Islanda, mentre i programmi per la prossima stagione estiva prevedono l’inserimento di altre 10 rotte, tra cui Bologna.

Peccato che per i voli da Bologna lo scalo non sia proprio comodissimo considerando che si arriva intorno all'una di notte in Islanda e il volo parte il giorno dopo alle 17 mentre al ritorno lo scalo a KEF è di una decina di ore... però i prezzi sono sicuramente appetitosi: in pieno agosto si trova intorno ai 300 e per certe date anche a meno. Bisogna vedere sommando tutti gli extra quanto viene fuori.

L'aumento dell'ASK da parte di una compagnia aerea, quando CASK aumenta e RASK diminuisce, è un problema per il conto economico.ed infatti EBIT e risultato netto sono in peggioramento.

Ed anche PLAY si è aperta la succursale maltese che verrà dedicata esclusivamente a fare ACMI.

Malta's Play Europe adds A321neo, obtains AOC

Play Europe, the Maltese subsidiary of PLAY (Iceland) (OG, Reykjavik Keflavik), inducted its first A321-200N and subsequently obtained its Air Operator's Certificate on March 27, 2025.

9H-PEA (msn 8008), formerly TF-AEW with the Icelandic unit, was ferried from Reykjavik Keflavik to Ostrava on March 25. It was ferried under the new operator's 'FPE' code to Nottingham East Midlands on March 28.

The Maltese subsidiary will be dedicated to ACMI operations and will operate exclusively on behalf of other carriers, with all in-house services retained under the Icelandic certificate. PLAY said that the Maltese company will add at least two more A321neo to operate the recently announced two-year contract with an unnamed Eastern European operator covering three aircraft of the type in total.

"These leasing projects will generate profitability for PLAY in line with previous projections and will make the company’s operations more predictable and stable, with a positive financial outlook," said chief executive Einar Örn Ólafsson.

Play Europe is wholly owned by the Icelandic parent. Ólafsson is the chief executive of both airlines.

The ch-aviation fleets module shows that PLAY's fleet comprises six A320-200Ns, two remaining A321-200Ns, and one A321-200NX.
