ANA Low-Cost Venture to Fly A320s

The new Kansai International Airport-based low-cost carrier being established by ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS (ANA) and Hong Kong's First Eastern Investment Group has selected the Airbus A320 for its launch. The as-yet unnamed start-up will lease ten 180-seat A320s from GECAS to launch operations in the second half of the 2011 fiscal year. The aircraft will all be powered by CFM International engines.
