Azul đã ký một đơn đặt hàng chắc chắn cho ba chiếc A330-900, điều này sẽ cho phép hãng tiếp tục mở rộng mạng bay quốc tế và bổ sung cho các hoạt động khai thác máy bay A330 hiện có, nâng tổng số máy bay A330neo của hãng lên tám chiếc.
“We are delighted to have secured three more next-gen Airbus widebody aircraft for the upcoming years. This reaffirms our position as the airline with the most modern fleet in the region, with 70 percent of our capacity coming from fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft,” said John Rodgerson, Chief Executive Officer of Azul.
“We applaud Azul’s decision that shows their forward looking strategy and proves the economics and performance of the A330neo are most compelling. The A330neo is the perfect tool to support Azul in expanding its fleet with the right-sized, modern widebody, leveraging the latest technology and efficiency and contributing to reducing CO2,” said Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International.
The A330neo is a member of Airbus’ leading Widebody Family that provides lower operating costs and reduced environmental footprint by combining enhanced technologies from the A350 with highly efficient Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines. Featured with the Airspace cabin, the A330neo offers an unmatched passenger experience and operational efficiency thanks to a redesigned welcome area, enhanced mood lighting, larger and modern overhead compartments and new window and lavatory designs.
Azul Linhas Aereas launched operations in 2008 and has since grown to service more than 150 destinations within Brazil, and flies non-stop to the United States, Europe and South America. Azul received the Americas’ first A330neo in 2019 and operates 12 A330 Family aircraft. In the coming weeks, Azul will start operating four A350-900 to further expand its route offering and benefit from the Airbus commonality concept.
Tại Mỹ Latinh và Caribe, Airbus đã bán được hơn 1,150 máy bay và tồn đọng hơn 500 chiếc, với hơn 700 chiếc đang hoạt động khắp khu vực, chiếm gần 60% thị phần của đội bay đang phục vụ. Kể từ năm 1994, Airbus đã đảm bảo khoảng 70% đơn đặt hàng ròng trong khu vực.
