GoAir expands airbus fleet with 10 more A320s
The Fly Smart Airline, based in Mumbai, signed a purchase agreement for 10 Airbus A320 family aircraft with an option for a further ten at the Farnborough air show.
GoAir launched services with two leased A320s in November 2005, with a further five leased A320s scheduled to enter the fleet during 2006. All of the A320 aircraft on firm order will seat 180 passengers in an all-economy layout. In bringing these aircraft into service GoAir will expand services to major business and leisure destinations across the country. “I am delighted to have signed this contract which is a demonstration of our long standing confidence in the Airbus A320 family. These aircraft will enable us to develop our network and introduce new routes not previously served and we are excited about being able to offer the Fly Smart experience to more cities and passengers throughout India,” Mr. Jeh Wadia, managing director, GoAir.
