Toulouse, France. Atlantic Airways, the national airline of the Faroe Islands, has signed a firm order with Airbus for the purchase of two A320neo aircraft. The order supports the airline’s transition toward an all-A320neo fleet, driving operational synergies and streamlined maintenance.
Atlantic Airways currently operates four A320 Family aircraft, comprising two A320ceo and two A320neo.
“Our ambition is to operate an exclusively A320neo aircraft fleet in the near future, and this agreement marks a significant step towards achieving that goal,” said Niels Mortensen, Chairman of the Board of Atlantic Airways. “This investment will help ensure the continuous renewal of our fleet while supporting efficient operations.”
“We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with Atlantic Airways as they advance toward a complete A320neo fleet,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business. “By adding two additional latest generation A320neo aircraft to their future fleet, the airline is reinforcing its commitment to regional connectivity. We look forward to continuing our support to facilitate efficient connections for the Faroese communities.”
The A320 Family is the world’s most popular single-aisle aircraft, having won more than 20,400 orders globally. The Family offers at least 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, while maximising passenger comfort with one of the widest single-aisle cabins in the sky.
