Vistara, a carrier from New Delhi, and Airbus signed a letter of intent to acquire another 13 A320neo aircraft, in addition to the existing order book for 21 aircraft. This is reported by Airbus. The airline also assumed the obligation to additionally acquire 37 aircraft from the A320neo family.
The company Golden Falcon Aviation, the supplier of aircrafts of the airline Wataniya Airways, confirmed the order for 25 aircraft of the Airbus A320neo family. The signing of the contract was followed by the Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier, at Dubai Airshow.
