Airline Reports / Re: Atlantic Airways- Press Releases [1152]
« on: December 05, 2010, 07:21:08 pm »Plans to expand into the US market are being discussed feverishly, as the airline sees much opportunity to expand and encroach upon a market that can stand to benefit from our service. The final decision regarding which airport will serve as our hub will be publicized in the near future, however it will likely initially cater to the eastern market. The fleet serving in the US will consist mainly of A320, and A321 aircraft as opposed to the A319 in Europe because of the larger passenger flow. Main routes will be serviced by larger aircraft yet so as to maximize revenues.
Our signature aircraft, the A319, will be used when appropriate in the US for smaller routes. It has provided the airline with the ability to rapidly expand in the European market, serving thousands of our customers from Stuttgart and Domodedovo. With flourishing revenues, the airline is able to shift to purchasing A321 aircraft, and eventually plans to phase out our European A319's with this aircraft, after our US hub has been satisfied.
