Air Austral and Air Madagascar order Airbus A220s
Indian Ocean equity partners Air Austral and Air Madagascar are to take 6 Airbus A220s, unifying their short- and mid- haul fleet renewals, starting with an initial firm order from Air Austral for 3 A220s. Oct 12, Air Austral CE Marie-Joseph Male announced a firm order for 3 Airbus A220s, configured with 132 seats (12 business and 120 economy). The A220s will completely replace Air Austral’s existing short-haul fleet, which comprises 2 Boeing 737-800s and a single ATR 72-500. Deliveries are provisionally scheduled for Nov 2020, Dec 2020 and March 2021. Male said the A220s will be deployed on all of Air Austral’s existing routes, cutting operating costs, while enabling the airline to upgrade its on-board product and add frequencies. <br/>
