Sunrise Airways charts course for accelerated growth with new Airbus A320

Sunrise Airways has positioned itself for aggressive expansion in 2017, initiating service aboard a new 180-seat Airbus A320 aircraft. Sourced through a wet-lease agreement with Dominican Wings, a subsidiary of Lithuanian wet-lease specialist Avion Express, the Airbus A320 is currently operating along Sunrise Airways routes connecting Cuba with Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The move to the Airbus A320 marks the first time in Sunrise Airways’ history that it has offered jet service. Previously, the carrier operated an all-turboprop fleet consisting of ATR 42-320 and Jetstream 32 EP aircraft.
