Mexican LCC's Plane Sports New Cabin Design
The Mexican low-cost airline Interjet has taken delivery of its
first A320 from Airbus.
Interjet started operations in December 2005, with a fleet of
seven pre-owned A320s acquired in Europe. Since then, Interjet has
placed orders for a total of 20 A320s.
The brand-new A320 delivered Friday will accommodate 150
passengers in a single-class configuration. The aircraft is
equipped with CFM56-5B4/P engines from CFM International.
Interjet's new A320 also features the all-new cabin that
recently entered service on other members of the A320 Family.
Airbus says the new cabin -- which includes larger overhead bins,
and reconfigured sidewall panels -- provides more passenger comfort
in a modern and bright environment.
"The A320 is without a doubt the reference in the low cost
market. It ideally combines unmatched operating costs with the
highest level of passenger comfort" says Miguel Aleman, Chairman of
Interjet. "It allows us to operate the low-fares and high
efficiency concept in the Mexican air transport industry whilst
preserving the highest standards of service quality and safety for
travellers on domestic routes in Mexico."
Interjet will add the new A320 on its domestic network operating
out of Toluca airport, near Mexico City.
"We are pleased to see the rapid expansion of Interjet on the
Mexican domestic low-cost market" says John Leahy, Airbus Chief
Operating Officer Customers, "With this brand-new A320 featuring
the new cabin, Interjet's passengers will experience an even higher
level of comfort."
