Tunisair signs on Airbus for fleet modernization plan

In a recent development, North African airline Tunisair has decided to work with Airbus for the acquisition of three A350-800s, three A330-200s and ten A320s, as part of an important fleet development plan to modernise and expand the fleet of the growing airline. With this acquisition, Tunisair will become the third African airline to order the all-new A350 XWB. Tunisair already has 12 A320s, four A319s of which two are of the extended range capability and three A300-600s in operation.

The A350 as part of the long-term development plans of Tunisair will be used for long haul routes to North America and Asia. Meanwhile, the A330 will also equip the airline to cater to the long haul market with new routes to North America. Furthermore, the A320 will allow Tunisair to renew and expand its regional operations with more efficient and cost effective aircraft complementing its current fleet.
