Atlantic Airways Orders Two More Airbus A320neo Jets

Overview

• Atlantic Airways placed a firm order for two additional Airbus A320neo aircraft on Tuesday, October 27, bringing the carrier's total A320neo aircraft on order to four.
• The airline said the purchase is part of a long-term investment plan of up to DKK 2 billion and supports its stated ambition to operate an exclusively A320neo fleet in the near future.
• Atlantic Airways currently flies two A320ceo and two A320neo from Vágar Airport, and the airline has previously said it plans to have six A320neos by the end of the decade.
• Airline statements say the newly ordered aircraft are scheduled for delivery in the early 2030s decade, while one report noted the carrier did not disclose a firm delivery timetable.
• Airbus highlighted the deal as strengthening regional connectivity and the A320neo family offers roughly 20% lower fuel burn and CO₂ emissions versus older single-aisle types, benefits that matter for the Faroe Islands' single airport and short runway.
