Polaris Aviation Group has obtained an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aeronautical Authority of the Republic of Moldova, paving the way for the launch of commercial operations under the Polaris brand. The carrier will initially operate an Airbus A321, registered ER-PAG, with a second Airbus A320-family aircraft expected to join the fleet subsequently.
Polaris plans to launch a three-times-weekly service between its Chisinau base and Dublin on 21 November 2026. The seasonal route is scheduled to operate until 27 March 2027, with flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
According to Planespotters, ER-PAG (Airbus A321-211, MSN 1932) previously operated for MyTravel Airways as OY-VKC between March 2003 and May 2008, before transferring to Thomas Cook and subsequently Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia. The aircraft joined Sunclass Airlines in October 2019, before being leased to Fly2Sky in 2024 as LZ-FSH. It was withdrawn from use in August 2026.
