Chile’s SKY orders 10 Airbus A321XLRs
Chile-based SKY Airline has signed a purchase agreement with Airbus for 10 A321XLRs, confirming the LCC was behind the undisclosed Sept. 30 order for 10 of the new-generation narrowbodies. SKY CEO Holger Paulmann said the order will “allow us to expand our offer of international and wide-ranging routes.” SKY’s current in-service fleet of 23 A320-family aircraft includes nine A319-100s and 14 A320ceos, according to Aviation Week Fleet Data services. In addition to domestic Chile routes, the carrier operates to Latin American destinations in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Peru from its primary hub at Santiago International Airport. The order is further confirmation for Airbus’s A321XLR program, following the Dec. 3 announcement of an order from United for 50 of the long-range narrowbodies to replace two-thirds of its Boeing 757 fleet.<br/>
