Play is now preparing for the hub-and-spoke operation in spring 2022 and adding destinations in North America and Europe.

Play signed two LOIs with two lessors in August 2021, increasing its fleet size from three to nine aircraft in spring 2023. PLAY is in final talks to lease the tenth aircraft. The first LOI is for two new A320neos delivering in 1Q 2022. The second LOI is for three A320neos and one A321neo, which will come into operation in spring 2023, delivered brand new via the lessor. Negotiations for additions to the fleet for 2024 and 2025 are ongoing, bringing the total fleet to 15 aircraft by 2025.
