Atlantic Airways Orders Two A320neo Aircraft
Atlantic Airways ordered two Airbus A320neo aircraft in a deal signed on Oct.
27.
The airline is the national carrier of the Faroe Islands, an island group in the North Atlantic.
It currently operates two A320neos alongside two older A320-200 aircraft.
The order is a step toward the airline’s goal of replacing its older planes with an all-A320neo fleet.
Atlantic Airways says fleet renewal will support efficient operations, while Airbus says a single aircraft type can simplify maintenance.
The airline connects the Faroe Islands with destinations elsewhere in Europe, and its routes change with the seasons.
The deal moves the airline closer to a fully modernized fleet, though the sources do not give a delivery schedule.
