Synergy orders 62 A320neo
Synergy Aerospace Corporation has finalised a Purchase Agreement with Airbus for 62 A320neo Family aircraft.
These A320neo are to be the base of the fleet renewal and network growth strategy for Avianca Brasil and also marks over 1,000 Airbus aircraft sold in Latin America.
“These A320neo will allow Avianca Brasil to take an important leap toward growing and modernizing its fleet in a profitable and sustainable manner, while improving passenger experience,” said Alex Bialer, Chairman of the Board, Synergy Group. “Thanks to its excellent eco-efficiency, reliability and comfort the A320neo Family will allow us to strengthen our position in South America by offering passengers the best single-aisle product available.”
“Airbus is pleased to be surpassing 1,000 aircraft sold in Latin America with this order by Synergy and we are proud that Avianca Brasil will rely on the A320neo Family to renew its fleet and expand its network in South America,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “Domestic traffic in Brazil is projected to nearly triple by 2034, placing it among the world’s top 10 fastest-growing traffic flows in the world. These A320neo will allow Avianca Brasil to capitalise on this growth and deliver enhanced capabilities in challenging airports such as Rio de Janeiro’s Santos Dumont.”
Synergy became an Airbus customer in 2007 with its order for 10 A350 XWBs. It also has ordered 20 A320 Family aircraft, six A330-200 passenger and one A330-200 Freighter. Today, Avianca Brasil operates 40 A320 Family aircraft and one A330 Freighter.
