Kuwait’s Wataniya Airways to add 25 A320neo aircraft
FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, July 16, 2018
Golden Falcon Aviation, the exclusive aircraft provider of Wataniya Airways, has confirmed an order for 25 Airbus A320neo family aircraft.
The order follows an earlier MoU announced at last year’s Dubai Airshow. The list price of A320neo is $110.6 million.
The firm order was signed during the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK by Rakan Al-Tuwaijri, chief executive officer of Golden Falcon Aviation, and Eric Schulz, Airbus chief commercial officer.
Wataniya Airways resumed operations in July 2017 and currently operates a fleet of four A320 family aircraft serving destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia from its home base in Kuwait. The A320neo family aircraft will support the airline’s vision to become the fastest growing and leading airline in the country.
Featuring the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky, the efficient A320neo Family incorporates the very latest technologies including new generation engines and Sharklets, which together deliver more than 15 percent fuel and CO2 savings from day one and 20 percent by 2020 as well as 50 percent noise reduction.
With more than 6,100 orders received from over 100 customers, the A320neo Family has captured some 60 percent share of the market, Airbus said. - TradeArabia News Service
