Operations
The airline's fleet consists of 9 passenger Boeing 737-800 aircraft and 7 cargo variants of the same model. AirExplore primarily focuses on ACMI leasing services for various carriers around the globe, particularly during peak seasons. Additionally, it offers charter flights tailored for tour operators, sports organizations, and business clients.

On 25 August 2022, AirExplore enhanced its fleet by introducing its first Boeing 737-800 freighter converted aircraft.
