Wow orders A321neo aircraft
WOW air claims it will be the first airline in Europe to operate the A321neo aircraft following a deal signed at this week’s Paris Air show.
"This is a significant addition to our fleet that will allow us to service routes of more than six thousand kilometres, a journey that the previous model of A321 has not been able to do," says Skuli Mogensen, WOW air Founder and CEO.
The new aircraft will enter service on July 5, joining the airline’s all-Airbus fleet of 17 aircraft.
The airline said it will operate on various European and North American routes, including the new service to Tel Aviv.
"The A321neo will allow WOW air to further expand its network in Europe and North America, with the most comfortable and fuel efficient aircraft in its class," said John Leahy, COO-customers, Airbus Commercial Aircraft.
"Aside from the reduced operating costs, the aircraft also provides a WOW effect for passengers with its spacious state-of-the-art cabin."
