Airbus breaks Israeli drought
Israir buying two A320s making it the first Israeli airline to operate Airbus planes.
Israir has signed an MOU to buy two Airbus A320s, with an option on a third, for $150 million. A final contract will be signed in a few weeks. (We have not been sent any official Airbus PR on this yet).
Israir will receive the planes in 2010. Meanwhile, the airline will lease planes from Airbus, making it the first Israeli airline to operate Airbus. Airbus will apparently provide a complete support package, including training for air and ground crews.
With this breakthrough we think A330s for New York service might not be far behind. This is great news for Airbus. It is far more important than order size.
