GECAS has delivered the first of four A320neo aircraft to Hongtu Airlines.
The Chinese carrier has agreed to lease four of the new-technology narrowbodies from GECAS’ skyline orderbook. This delivery marks the first LEAP-powered A320neo to enter service with Hongtu Airlines.
Launching operations in May 2016, the Kunming-based airline has more than doubled its fleet in the past year, with nine aircraft from the Airbus A320 family – including A319, A320 and A321.
