Hong Kong Airlines has signed a firm order with
Airbus for nine additional A330-300 aircraft.
The aircraft will be operated across a network
which links Hong Kong with a wide range of destinations in Asia,
and beyond.
"This order underscores our plan to
operate an extensive regional network in Asia," said Zhang Kui,
President, Hong Kong Airlines. "The A330’s flexibility also allows
us to further deploy these aircraft to some long haul routes in
the future, and we are going to operate the all-new A350 XWB in
2017 which will open a new chapter of our international
operations."
Hong Kong Airlines currently operates an
all-Airbus fleet comprising of 11 A320s and 22 A330s including 5
A330-200 Freighters.
By the end of 2018, its fleet size will reach
over 50 with the delivery of its first A350-900 aircraft.
