Azores Airlines to acquire long-range A321neo
Portuguese carrier Azores Airlines will lease 6 new Airbus A321neos—including 4 A321LR long-range versions—from Air Lease Corp. The CFM Leap 1A-powered aircraft will be delivered between Q4 2017 and early 2021. The airline will use the aircraft on its transatlantic network, as well as on services to mainland Portugal and elsewhere in Europe, replacing older A310s. The LR version of the A321neo has a range of up to 4,000nm, allowing it to serve several North American destinations, including Boston, Providence, Toronto and Montreal. The new aircraft will give the carrier the option of introducing new routes and increased frequencies. “The A321neo and the A321LR new technology Airbus family aircraft...is considered ideal and most economical for Azores Airlines’ extensive route network,” ALC EVP Marc Baer said. <br/>
