NIKI Luftfahrt GmbH Announces Repeat Order for A320 Family Aircraft
(January 31, 2008) -- NIKI Luftfahrt GmbH today announces a follow-on order for additional nine A320 Family aircraft. The order will raise NIKI's fleet to 20 A320 Family aircraft.
The successful Vienna-based low cost carrier NIKI will employ the new Airbus jets on routes to European cities and holiday destinations. The airline, founded in 2003, operates in partnership with Air Berlin, which is another major Airbus customer.
"We placed this additional order after four years of successful Airbus aircraft operations. The additional A320 Family aircraft will substantially increase our low-cost services out of Vienna", says Niki Lauda, President of NIKI. "The Airbus aircraft underpins our strategic objectives on quality, operational economics and comfort. Extra comfort levels are guaranteed through the new Airbus cabin, enhancing customer satisfaction. That is our top priority."
John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers added: "We are extremely pleased that NIKI further confirms its confidence in the A320 Family as the best aircraft for their successful daily operations. NIKI was the first to fly the enhanced Airbus A320 cabin, which makes the aircraft even quieter, brighter and more spacious. The Austrian airline is flying the world's most comfortable and eco-efficient short to medium haul aircraft."
