Nice Air had to pause its flight operations due to the loss of its only Airbus A319. The Airbus A319, which is the only aircraft in Nice Air's fleet, can no longer be considered for flights. This is due to the fact that this A319 model is an aircraft of the wet-lease airline Hi Fly. According to Nice Air, Hi Fly was unable to settle its debts to its lessor. As a result, the Airbus A319, which is in the custody of Nice Air for flight operations, is unusable. Nice Air is looking for a replacement aircraft, but this task is still a somewhat lengthy process. Until a replacement aircraft can be found and added to the fleet, the virtual airline will have to pause its flight operations for the time being.
