This aircraft type is known for its efficiency and comfort and will support EAA’s ongoing operations. The new aircraft is central to the Company’s long-term growth objectives and underscore EAA’s commitment to delivering world-class service to passengers and expanding its long-haul operations.
EAA is expecting new additions in the following months following the route path marked by their strategic plan. EAA is currently operating for LOT Polish Airlines on its daily New York to Warsaw route and for Azul on Lisbon to Campinas, Porto to Recife, and Madrid. The airline also provides services for government entities, while continuing to service its regular weekly routes to Sao Tome and Bissau.
Pauls Calitis, CEO of euroAtlantic Airways, commented: "We are delighted to welcome a new Airbus A330-300 into the EAA fleet. This induction reflects the continued growth of our Airbus operation and our commitment to offering airlines and clients around the world a versatile, reliable ACMI and charter solution.

We look forward to further strengthening our partnership in the years ahead.”

Vara Receives World-First CE Certification for Autonomous AI in Breast Cancer Screening2.9.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
Vara has received CE certification under the EU Medical Device Regulation (Class IIb) for autonomous triage in organised breast cancer screening – the first breast AI certified anywhere to report screening examinations as normal without radiologist review. In autonomous triage, examinations the system classifies as clearly normal can be reported by AI without a radiologist reading them; every other examination continues to be read by at least one radiologist. This deployment mode is intended for organised population screening, where a shrinking radiologist workforce is straining programmes that still read every mammogram twice. The certification has only been possible because Vara has developed a safety system that supervises the autonomous use of its AI models. "What made this possible is not the AI model alone," said Stefan Bunk, CTO and co-founder of Vara. "It is based on seven years of continuous monitoring of how our AI performs in the real world, on every single case. That experi
