Airbus is letting ANN
know that the Czech national carrier CSA Czech Airlines has
purchased a further eight A319s, firming up options placed in the
initial contract signed with Airbus in April of 2005. CSA has now
'firmly' ordered a total of 20 Airbus single aisle aircraft and
holds yet another four on option.
CSA Czech Airlines had selected the A320 Family to replace older
generation aircraft in its core European fleet, following a
thorough evaluation of both the A320 Family and competing
types.
Based in Prague, the airline offers a large choice of flights to
Europe, Russia, North America and the Middle East. CSA plans to use
these new aircraft to consolidate its services, especially to
Russia and Eastern Europe, and to open up new markets. CSA Czech
Airlines has chosen a comfortable two-class cabin
configuration.
"Airbus forms a key element in the restructuring of our airline
and with our ambitious plans for further development. A competitive
aircraft fleet is an integral part of this plan" said Mr. Radomir
Lasak, CSA Czech Airlines President and Chairman of the Board of
Directors.
"It is always a compliment when a successful customer such as
CSA orders more of our aircraft," said John Leahy Airbus Chief
Operating Officer Customers, "This shows the customer's
satisfaction with the A320's advanced technology and efficiency. We
thank CSA for their renewed trust in Airbus, and congratulate CSA
for their proven track record in punctuality."
More than 5,300 A320 Family aircraft have been ordered to date
of which over 3,100 have been delivered to almost 200 customers
worldwide.
