Devonair get new Airbus aircrafts

Yet another virtual airline will be getting new planes added to their fleet, as Devonair announced it has received it’s 3 Airbus A319 aircrafts.

Devonair reports the purchase allowed almost double capacity on some of their more popular routes, but also launch services out of the Embraer 170′s range.

"The new Athens route is already showing high load factors," commented CEO James Simmonds, "Other than traveling from London, or going via a European hub, it was very hard to get to the Greek capital. Passengers have welcomed traveling from their doorstep, direct, to this great city."

The delivery of the Airbus aircrafts also allowed the airline to re-organize its Embraer fleet, to best serve its markets. "We now offer high frequencies to both domestic and European destinations, giving our passengers great flexibility when they make their travel plans. However, some routes would not have been suited to the A319, so the Embraer fits the bill perfectly," Simmonds continued.

In other news, Devonair has begin seeking a long haul aircraft to initially launch ad-hoc charter services from their Exeter base, with the vision of launching a scheduled long haul program in the near future.
