FlyPOP first aircraft, an A330-300, MSN 1445, has arrived in Malta and is on lease from Avolon. The aircraft, registered in Malta, will be operated by Hi Fly Malta. A second A330-300, serial 1420, for FlyPOP will follow.
There is an article about FlyPop in the current issue of Airports of the World.

Nino Singh Judge explains that these aircraft when operating with Cebu Pacific were configured in a single class layout with 436 seats.
FlyPop will provide better legroom for the front rows resulting in a reduced capacity of 412. (3+3+3).

I guess these birds will be ETOPS certified, Extended Toilet Operations :mrgreen:

Thanks but no thanks.
Flypop says it is “very close” to securing its AOC as it seeks to launch its first passenger flights between the UK and India with A330-300s subleased from Hi Fly Malta. It seems that it's taking a lot of time to secure the AOC. Because of the "high-density" configuration?
