Air Arabia, the region’s largest low-cost carrier, has negotiated an earlier delivery date with Airbus for the first of 44 A320 aircraft, from 2012 to the middle of next year.
The airline, which operates a fleet of 17, all of them Airbus aircraft, ordered 34 A320s in 2007 and 10 more in November.
“When we had ordered aircraft, it was the peak of aviation business and delivery slots were not available. Now the market has changed and we have pulled delivery dates forward,” said Adel Ali, the group chief executive of the Sharjah-based no-frills airline.
