GoAir (Mumbai International) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) for the purchase of seventy-two A320neo twinjets during the ongoing 2016 Farnborough International Airshow.
The order, should it be finalized, will build on an existing one for seventy-two of the type, the first two of which have thus far been delivered. No engine choice for the new order was specified.
"The new aircraft will help us in unlocking new domestic routes while providing a springboard for continued international network expansion in the years to come," airline CEO, Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, said in the statement.
During the order's press conference, Prock-Schauer indicated a third of GoAir's neo fleet would be dedicated to international operations. Various destinations in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Southeast Asia are currently under review, he said.
Go Air operates nineteen A320-200s and two A320neo on scheduled passenger flights to twenty-two cities across India.
