"In the course of the pandemic, Serene Air has not only expanded its wings to a new destination but the organisation has constantly endeavored to enhance its fleet with the very recent addition of the A330-200 wide body dual configuration aircraft which is being supplemented by two A330-200 aircraft on their way to join the airline fleet by end March 2021," he said.
