Viva Air firms Airbus commitment

Latin American LCC group Viva Air has firmed an order for 35 Airbus A320neo and 15 A320ceo single-aisle aircraft. The group originally signed an MOU for the aircraft at the Paris Air Show in June. Viva Air said the aircraft will be operated by the group’s airlines VivaColombia and Viva Air Peru and will allow the two all-Airbus operators to modernise their fleets and capture growth opportunities across Latin America. “This order reflects our long-term commitment to our customers lowering fares further due to the benefits of this new fleet,” CE and founder of VivaColombia, William Shaw said. He added that the group planned to accelerate its growth throughout Latin America. <br/>
