"This bulk purchase will significantly expand CALC’s fleet portfolio and further solidify our position as a full value-chain aircraft solutions provider. Currently majority of our fleet comes from direct purchase from manufacturers and that will remain the major source of our new aircraft.”

With unbeatable fuel efficiency and lowest operating costs, it is the best match for CALC’s customers.
