The Hong Kong-based airline HK Express will take delivery of four 188-seat Airbus A320neos (new engine option) and two new A321 CEO (current engine option) aircraft, which will be the first in North Asia to have a 230-seat configuration, in 2016, followed by at least four more each year until 2018.

“Investing in the A320neo is one of the most important things we can do for our valued guests, the environment, and the business itself,” says CEO Andrew Cowen. “We are actively looking for more opportunities to expand our fleet and grow our network to keep up with market demand.”

 The budget airline will operate 13 aircraft by the end of 2015, and a total of 19 to 23 by December 2016.  www.hkexpress.com
