Airbus has signed a contract with Azerbaijan Airlines for 12 A320neo Family aircraft, including A320neo and A321neo, in a move to modernize and enhance its fleet. The contract was signed during a ceremony held in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan. The new aircraft will enable Azerbaijan Airlines to operate more fuel-efficient and cost-effective flights while providing passengers with exceptional comfort. The engine selection for the new aircraft will be announced by the airline at a later stage.
The new aircraft will add to the airline’s current fleet of 15 Airbus aircraft, including four A319ceo, six A320ceo, and two A340s. In addition, three new-generation A320neo were added to the fleet earlier this year. Azerbaijan Airlines plans to deploy the new A320neo Family aircraft to further develop its domestic and international route network.
Samir Rzayev, First Vice-President, AZAL CJSC said, “We are pleased to continue mutually beneficial cooperation with Airbus on the modernization program of our fleet and intend to strengthen the bilateral partnership. The signed contract will provide our passengers with the most modern and comfortable single-aisle aircraft.”
The A320neo Family is equipped with advanced technologies such as new generation engines and Sharklets, which contribute to at least a 20 percent reduction in fuel burn and CO2 emissions. With 8,700 orders from 135 customers, the A320neo Family is currently the world’s most popular aircraft.
“This order marks an important milestone in the fruitful relationship between Airbus and Azerbaijan Airlines,” said Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International, Airbus. “The A320neo Family continues to be a top choice for airlines looking for fuel-efficient and cost-effective fleet solutions. This order is a testament to the trust our customers have in the performance and reliability of our aircraft. We are confident that this choice will further boost the sustainable growth of Azerbaijan Airlines,” he further added.
