Investing.com -- Spanish airline Air Europa has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for up to 40 A350-900 aircraft, forming the backbone of its long-haul fleet replacement strategy.
The agreement, announced at the Dubai Airshow, will accelerate the renewal of Air Europa’s existing long-haul fleet and boost growth to key markets in Latin America through the aircraft’s performance and economics.
"This order is a strategic milestone in Air Europa’s fleet development, accelerating its profitable growth by renewal of the current widebody fleet," said Juan Jose Hidalgo, President of Air Europa. "The A350-900 is a game-changer for key destinations in Latin America. It provides an exceptional cabin experience and the operational performance and economics needed to expand the airline’s network without compromise, delivering the highest standards in air travel."
The A350 is designed to fly up to 9,700 nautical miles (18,000 kilometers) non-stop. Its Rolls-Royce engines and lightweight materials provide a 25% advantage in fuel burn, operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions compared to previous generation competitor aircraft.
Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business, called the order "a strong endorsement of the A350 as the benchmark widebody platform for efficiency and passenger comfort in the long-haul market."
The aircraft features state-of-the-art technologies, aerodynamics, and an Airspace cabin that offers modern in-flight products for passenger comfort.
