Wamos Air, formerly named Pullmantur Air,[5] is a Spanish charter airline headquartered in Madrid.[6] It mostly operates leisure charter flights from its main base at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport and also operates aircraft for other entities.[1]

History

[edit]

In 2014, former majority owner Royal Caribbean Group (which also owned now defunct Pullmantur Cruises) sold a 81% stake of Pullmantur Air to investor Springwater Capital which subsequently also led to a rebrand to Wamos Air.[5]

In 2022, Wamos Air announced it would end all scheduled services to focus solely on passenger and cargo charter and ACMI operations. The airline did serve few destinations throughout the Caribbean, which were subsequently handed over to Iberojet.[3]

From 15 November 2022 to 30 April 2024, Wamos Air will operate the Auckland - Perth route daily using their own aircraft (A330-200), crew and pilots on behalf of Air New Zealand.[7]

From 1 June 2024, Wamos air will operate two Airbus A330-200s from Manila to Sydney and Melbourne on behalf of Philippine Airlines for a five month period due to supply chain issues.[8]

Currently Wamos Air is operating flights for Air Europa on the Madrid (MAD) - New York (JFK) route as well as scheduled flights for Iberia to different destinations from Madrid Barajas airport. TAP Portugal is also being served by Wamos Air on the Lisbon - Fortaleza route.

Charter operations

Wamos Air offers short and long-term charter operations as well as ACMI services for passenger and cargo flights[3] to other airlines such as Condor,[9] tour operators and other businesses such as sports clubs. One of its major customers had been its now defunct sister company Pullmantur Cruises.

In 2021 and 2022 Wamos Air had set up Tallinn Airport as its technical stopover between Asia and North America cargo routes.[10]
