Spring Airlines expanding fleet
SHANGHAI: Privately-run carrier Spring Airlines plans to take delivery of six more aircraft over a three-year period, increasing its fleet size to roughly 30, including leased ones, a company spokesman said.
Spring yesterday took delivery of its first A320 aircraft from Airbus as part of the six aircraft it ordered between 2006 and 2007. The new aircraft will be used for flights to Lanzhou and Urumqi in western China, said the spokesman.
Adding another 10 A320 planes that Spring Airlines booked from Airbus, the Shanghai-based carrier will now have to shell out nearly 6 billion yuan.
