Egypt’s low-cost carrier Air Cairo has taken delivery of its first Airbus A320neo aircraft. The new aircraft will join Air Cairo’s all Airbus fleet of seven aircraft.
The aircraft is on lease from ICBC Leasing and is equipped with CFM LEAP-1A engines. Air Cairo’s fleet expansion and modernisation strategy coincides with the airline’s decision to open more routes, fostering closer links with countries across continents.
With improved levels of efficiency, the new aircraft will be deployed on Air Cairo’s regional and international network to serve countries across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East – demonstrating the operational flexibility of the A320neo.
Offering the airline great technical, economic, and environmental performance, Air Cairo’s A320neo is configured with 186 seats in an all-economy class cabin.
The A320neo incorporates the latest technologies including new generation engines, Sharklets and aerodynamics, which together deliver 20% in fuel savings and CO2 reduction compared to previous generation Airbus aircraft.
