The type of aircraft chosen is the Airbus A320 type series. It's a versatile and modern aircraft. A phased introduction of its first aircraft in August 2008, in keeping with its business objectives and growth scenario, was followed by the introduction of a second A320 in June 2009. Future expansion steps, as the market develops favourably, are foreseen to up to a fleet of 6 aircraft in 2011.
The aircraft operate in an all Economy Class (180 comfortable seats) configuration.
