A spokesperson of the airline had said that they have obtained two A-330 Airbus and one Boeing 737-800 for the international flight operations and the airline will buy two more A-330. Under the new aviation policy, private airlines are being facilitated for international flight operation, a spokesperson of CAA had said.
