“The situation is very fluid. We will see how it evolves. If the pandemic situation continues to improve, as it did before the Omicron variant, then it makes sense to deploy the Boeing 777s for scheduled passenger flights. If not, then cargo,” sources said.
The carrier currently has 13 Boeing 737 Max aircraft in its fleet out of 205 on order.
