Brazil’s TAM Airlines, Airbus’ biggest customer
in the Southern Hemisphere, has signed a firm order for 25 Airbus
aircraft, bringing the Brazilian airline’s total Airbus order book
to 176. This order for 20 A320 Family and 5 A350-900s follows the
Memorandum of Understanding announced at the ILA Berlin Air Show
in June.
TAM’s new A320 Family aircraft will replace
existing A320 Family aircraft as part of the airline’s commitment
to keep an average fleet age of six years. Both the A320 Family
and A350 XWB fleet will serve the carrier’s existing routes.
As of today,
TAM's total Airbus orders have increased to 134 A320 Family
aircraft, 15 A330-200s and 27 A350 XWB. 65 Airbus A320 Family
aircraft, two A330-200s and 27 A350 XWB are still in the backlog.
Today more than 370 Airbus aircraft are
flying with 23 Latin American airline customers and operators,
representing around 40% of the fleet in service. With
TAM being the biggest customer, more than 500 Airbus aircraft have
been sold in the region, which enjoys a record backlog of more
than 200 aircraft.
