Fly Play Europe

Fly Play Europe, trading as PLAY Europe, is a Malta registered airline that flies for other companies under ACMI and charter deals. It is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Icelandic airline Fly Play hf. The Maltese Civil Aviation Directorate granted its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) in March 2025. The Malta AOC lets it fly aircraft for other airlines, outside the PLAY brand.

The company has its registered office in St Julian's, Malta. Its services are business to business: it works with airlines, tour operators, governments and private groups.

Services

ACMI leasing

ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance. PLAY Europe provides:

• Aircraft: fully equipped and ready to fly
• Crew: trained pilots and cabin crew
• Maintenance: ongoing technical support and servicing
• Insurance: full cover to operate safely and legally

The client pays for fuel, airport fees and passenger handling. ACMI is used to cover busy seasons, aircraft that are out of service, or new routes.

Charter flights

For charter work, the client says where and when, and PLAY Europe handles the full flight.

Fleet

PLAY Europe flies young Airbus A320neo family aircraft. Using two sizes from the same family keeps maintenance and training simple and lets the airline match aircraft size to demand.

• Airbus A320neo: 180 seats, CFM LEAP-1A26 engines, MTOW 79,000 kg
• Airbus A321neo: 220 seats, CFM LEAP-1A32 engines, MTOW 93,500 kg

Who it is for

Airlines that need extra capacity, tour operators, governments and groups that need a full aircraft. PLAY Europe says its low cost culture and modern fleet keep prices low, and that safety and on-time performance are its core values.
