Dragonair has taken delivery of its ninth Airbus A320, which increases its
passenger fleet to 25. The purchased aircraft, which features the airline's new
cabin interior, is scheduled to enter service at the end of this week, by which time
the airline's 10th A320 will have also been delivered.
"The delivery has been timed to allow us to meet demand over the busy summer
holiday period," said Chief Executive Officer Stanley Hui. "The new aircraft will
operate on secondary routes in the Mainland, allowing us to increase frequencies
to cities such as Hangzhou and Nanjing and to enhance Hong Kong International
Airport as a gateway to the China Mainland."
The single-aisle A320 is powered by V2500 engines from IAE, and can seat eight
passengers in Business Class and 144 in Economy Class.
Dragonair
operates a fleet of 10 A330-300s, six A321s and nine A320s (including the one delivered last week), in addition to three
Boeing 747-300 freighters, one wet-leased A300B4 freighter and one Boeing
747-200 freighter. |
