Jazeera takes 14th A320

Jazeera Airways has taken delivery of a brand new Airbus A320 aircraft, bringing its total fleet number to 14 aircraft.

The new aircraft is now in operation after leaving the manufacturer’s A320 facility in Toulouse, France, on Friday
On landing, the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK), Kuwait CEO Shaikha Al Bahar and Jazeera Airways group chairman Marwan Boodai signed the new aircraft’s engine.
This is the second aircraft to be delivered out of three aircraft funded by the USD90 million structured facility that was led by NBK and DVB Bank SE back in June 2013.
The newly delivered aircraft is part of the airline’s growth strategy to operate new and modern aircraft, and to take on new aircraft deliveries until 2014 in parallel with Kuwait’s overall market growth.
To date, the company has taken delivery of 14 Airbus A320s since 2005 out of its order of 15 aircraft of the same type. The company’s remaining aircraft from its current order is scheduled for delivery in May 2014.
