Title: Alytus - Striving for France's Youngest Fleet
Post by: TheTransitBandit on June 10, 2026, 05:44:35 AM
Alytus, France's preferred way to travel, is working towards a major fleet refresh to keep your flying experience modern, quiet, and comfortable.

Thanks to recent acquisitions, all short-haul European routes formerly operated by Curtiss-Wright and Martin piston aircraft are now operated by state-of-the-art Fokker turboprop aircraft, featuring faster speeds, quieter cabins, and a more spacious seating layout.

Smaller flights are being refreshed as well, with a new order of deHavilland Dove and Heron 2 aircraft to replace older airframes for a more pleasant flight.

Finally, Alytus' famous worldwide long-haul network is looking to modernize as well. While the Lockheed Constellation family continues to provide reliable service, Alytus has been in talks with Douglas to develop a longer-range variant of the DC-8 jetliner, which would be the airline's first jet-powered aircraft. A longer-range variant would allow Alytus to replace the entire Constellation fleet, including the long-range Starliners, with faster and smoother jet aircraft, allowing the airline to expand its long-haul route network and improve the flying experience for current passengers.

Thank you for continuing to choose Alytus as your preferred way to travel, we look forward to welcoming you onboard.
