The airline currently has 18 A320-200s, 36 A321-200s, 18 A321neos and five A330-300s. The airline has orders for 94 Airbus A321neos, 20 A321XLRs, and one A330-300. There are also 50 Boeing 737-8 MAXs and 100 737-8-200 MAXs listed as on order.
The meeting also passed nine proposals on development strategies for 2023 and set certain targets for management to pursue like maintaining the market position in terms of passenger volume and efficiency, reaching agreements with aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus to ensure on-time delivery, expanding business activities in ground services, training services and digital business and optimizing operations and financial solutions to cut costs.
