Estonian carrier Nordic Aviation Group (NAG) and investment firm-owned “start-up” airline Marabu have signed a long-term service agreement for NAG to support Marubu’s efforts to crack the German market.
Starting in summer 2023, NAG is to operate three aircraft for Marabu from Hamburg and Munich and “will additionally provide various additional supporting services”, said the group, which flies to seven countries.
Marabu belongs London-based investment firm Attestor and aims to fly from the two German cities to “popular holiday destinations along the Mediterranean Sea, the Canaries and the Red Sea”, the group added.
“I am pleased that we have found a trustworthy partner in the Estonian airline, one with a Nordic work culture and top-level know-how that adds value to Marabu’s take-off run. We currently find ourselves in the phase of active hiring and are creating hundreds of new jobs in Hamburg and Munich, both for local pilots and cabin crew,” said Marabu chief executive Paul Schwaiger.
“The success of recent years and the expertise and know-how present in our group have been noticed in Europe,” said Jan Palmer, Schwaiger’s NAG counterpart.
