AirTanker Services, operating as AirTanker, is a British airline which operates charter services using reserve aerial refuelling aircraft. In 2008 the Ministry of Defence signed the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) contract with AirTanker to provide the Royal Air Force (RAF) with an air transport and air-to-air refuelling capability. As well as supporting the RAF, AirTanker holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence, permitting it to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.〔(Type A Operating Licence Holders )〕 Following the granting of an operating licence the airline flew its first charter flight to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus for the UK Ministry of Defence in January 2013.〔(AirTanker’s first flight as an airline )〕 After delays in certification, its first operational refuelling flight took place on 20 May 2013. From May 2015, AirTanker leased one aircraft to Thomas Cook Airlines to be deployed on holiday routes. The contract will initially run for three years and involve mainly long haul flights from Glasgow, Manchester and London Stansted Airport. Their first commercial flight took place on 1 May 2015 from Manchester to Cancun and Punta Cana for Thomas Cook Airlines using an Airbus A330. ==Passenger destinations== *RAF Ascension Island *RAF Akrotiri *RAF Brize Norton Hub *Calgary *RAF Mount Pleasant On behalf of Thomas Cook Airlines (as a charter) * Cancun * Montego Bay * Tenerife * Dalaman * Orlando * Las Vegas 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AirTanker Services」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
