WOW air orders four A321s
WOW air has signed a firm order for four A321s and become a new Airbus customer with its first direct purchase agreement with Airbus.
WOW air is an all Airbus operator with 11 aircraft in its fleet to date and will grow to 12 by the end of 2016.
WOW air selected the A321 for its wider cabin, low operating costs and excellent fuel efficiency. The aircraft will feature a single-class cabin layout with 200 seats. The airline has selected CFM engines and will operate the aircraft throughout Europe and North America.
“We are thrilled to be adding these brand new A321 aircraft to our fast growing fleet. WOW air is becoming one of the leading low-cost long-haul airline in the World and we look forward to expanding even further through our successful partnership with Airbus,” said Skúli Mogensen, Founder and CEO of WOW air.
“We are very pleased to welcome WOW air as a new Airbus customer. The new aircraft will fit seamlessly into the airline’s current all Airbus fleet, thanks to Airbus’ fleet commonality,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers.
"This new order will strengthen the airline’s network that comprises today 30 international routes throughout Europe and North America."
