The world’s eight rarest Airbus A320 routes operate just once annually

FLYYO, a Romanian charter operator using three leased Airbus A320s from Air Lease Corporation, operates several rare routes. One annual flight connects Tel Aviv Ben Gurion International Airport to Košice International Airport in Slovakia—a city known for its UNESCO-protected forests and winter tourism. Another FLYYO-operated route flies between Kaunas in Lithuania and Athens in Greece; Kaunas Airport is the country’s second busiest and Ryanair’s main base there.

A further FLYYO flight links Kraków John Paul II International Airport in Poland with Tel Aviv. FLYYO began charter operations in April 2024 under CEO Ziv Mayberg from its headquarters near Bucharest Otopeni.

FLYYO will also operate a single annual charter connecting Ilan and Asaf Ramon International Airport (Eilat Ramon) in Israel to Paris Charles de Gaulle. Eilat Ramon typically handles domestic flights or international charters due to limited scheduled services after Ryanair exited the market following regional conflict.

In Asia, Sichuan Airlines schedules just one annual A320 service between Chengdu Tianfu International Airport and Chiang Mai International Airport in Thailand—Chiang Mai being the fourth busiest airport in Thailand and an important gateway to northern regions.

Finally, Sichuan Airlines plans one yearly flight between Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport and Pu'er Simao Airport in China’s Yunnan province—an area notable for Pu'er tea production. Pu'er Simao is served by only two year-round carriers aside from these special services.

These unique flights highlight both the global reach of the Airbus A320 family as well as the specific needs met by ACMI providers like Avion Express Malta and niche operators such as FLYYO.
