Drukair
opts for the A320neo
Unmatched
performance for high altitude airports
Toulouse,
20th April 2018 – Drukair, the flag carrier
of Eastern Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, has signed a purchase agreement for one
A320neo to support its growth plans and complement its existing fleet of three
A319s. The aircraft will be powered by CFM Leap-1A26E1 engines optimized for
high altitude operations and will become the largest aircraft operating out of
Drukair’s base in Paro.
Paro, located at an altitude of
7,300 feet and surrounded by high mountains, is one of the world’s most
challenging airports. Thanks to the A320neo’s unmatched performance it will
become the largest aircraft to operate from Paro offering greater payload
capabilities and highest passenger comfort levels than any other product.
Featuring a two class cabin
layout, the aircraft will be deployed to increase capacity on existing regional
routes to Singapore, Bangkok, Kathmandu, Delhi and, Calcutta.

The A320neo Family incorporates
the very latest technologies including new generation engines and Sharklets which together deliver at least 15 percent fuel
savings at delivery and 20 percent by 2020. With some 6,000 orders received from
nearly 100 customers, the A320neo Family has captured some 60 percent share of
the market.
