The French private airline Aigle Azur has placed
a firm order with Airbus for one new A319 aircraft. This is the
first time the airline has purchased an aircraft directly from
Airbus.
The new A319 will be configured in a
two-class layout and will be powered by CFM-56 engines from CFM
International.
Aigle Azur currently operates a fleet of
ten A320 Family aircraft, comprising three A319s, three A320s and
four A321s.
The airline flies from several cities in France to
various destinations including Algeria, Mali, Morocco, Portugal
and Tunisia.
Founded in 1946, Aigle Azur is the oldest
private French airline. The company became an Airbus operator in
2003 and has operated an all-Airbus fleet since 2005.
"This first acquisition of an all-new aircraft is fully in line
with our policy of continuous fleet modernization, which addresses
the needs to satisfy our customers, the respect for the
environment, the reliability of operations and the reduction of
maintenance costs" said Arezki Idjerouidene, President of Aigle
Azur and GoFast Group.
