HAMBURG, Germany, June 24. With the A321neo,
AZAL's fleet is being replenished with one of the best aircraft in
the industry, said Christoph Zammert, Executive Vice President of
Airbus' A320 Family program, Trend’s special correspondent reports.
He made the remark at the handover ceremony of the first Airbus
A321neo to Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) in Hamburg.
"As we've ramped up production we are now delivering two to
three aircraft per day, so we don't hold that many ceremonies
anymore. However, for truly important events we make an exception,
and today's event is one of them — the delivery of your first
A321neo," he said.
Zammert noted that the aircraft ranks among the best in the
industry in terms of fuel efficiency, noise levels and passenger
comfort.
"I hope your customers will feel the difference in the quality
of the product, and that the further expansion of your fleet will
help your business achieve the results you are aiming for. This
aircraft provides greater capacity, enhanced passenger comfort and
allows Azerbaijan Airlines to expand its route network while also
contributing to improved profitability. As the airline strengthens
Azerbaijan's connections with the world and sets new travel
standards in the region and beyond, you can count on our support,"
he said.
He also noted that the aircraft will carry out a special first
mission, delivering the national flag for Azerbaijan's Independence
Day celebrations, and underwent additional system checks to ensure
full readiness for the occasion.
"I was told that Azerbaijan has a national symbol — the
Kharibulbul flower, representing beauty, resilience and unity.
These values resonate deeply with Airbus and reflect what we strive
to achieve in our products and, ultimately, for you — our
customers," Zammert added.
