Jun 11, 2015 (newstodate): Atlantic Airways has now inked a firm order with Airbus for acquisition of an Airbus 320 to be delivered in late 2016.
An MoU was signed on May 1, 2015, and the aircraft is now slated for delivery by the end of 2016.
The new aircraft will primarily be serving Atlantic Airways' route between the Faroe Islands and Copenhagen that is seeing increasing demand requiring additional capacity compared to the carrier's Airbus A319 currently used on this segment.
The aircraft will be equipped with Required Navigation Performance capability, which enables the aircraft to fly precisely along predefined routes using state-of-the-art on-board navigation systems.
Atlantic Airways was the first airline in Europe to use the Required Navigation Performance approach on its three Airbus A319 aircraft now in service with the carrier.
