Dublin-based lessor Avolon has ordered eight A320s equipped with “Sharklet” winglets. An engine selection will be announced soon for the $600 million order.
“This initial order for eight A320 aircraft, renowned for their efficiency and reliability, complements our existing portfolio and fully rounds out our product-offering,” said Avolon President and CCO John Higgins. “We look forward to working with Airbus as we continue to build the franchise and portfolio of our business.”
The aircraft will be delivered in 2014. The lessor will take delivery in 12 new Boeing aircraft in 2012.
