Avianca cancels 17 A320neo family aircraft, defers 35
Avianca has cancelled deliveries of 17 Airbus A320neo family aircraft from a 100-aircraft order signed in 2015, and rescheduled deliveries of another 35 jets. The fleet changes will reduce Avianca's fleet capital expenditure needs by more than US$350m over the next 3 years, says the carrier. Financial commitments from 2020 to 2022 will also reduce by more than $2.6b. The 35 rescheduled aircraft will now be delivered from 2026 to 2028, instead of 2020 to 2022. Prior to the orderbook changes, Avianca had 20 A319neos, 92 A320neos and 15 A321neos on order. Under an updated fleet plan, Avianca will receive 3 aircraft this year, down from 6 originally. It will take delivery of 6 aircraft (down from 20) in 2020, 4 (down from 23) in 2021, and 4 (down from 20) in 2022. <br/>
