Aircraft leasing company AerCap has successfully delivered the initial Airbus A330neo out of a series of four to Corsair. The remaining trio of aircraft is set to be handed over to the carrier throughout 2024.
Pascal de Izaguirre, CEO of Corsair, emphasised the significance of this milestone, stating, “With the receipt of this new A330neo, Corsair embarks on the second and final phase of our fleet renewal plan. By the close of 2024, an additional four A330neos will join our fleet, with the first slated for deployment in service to destinations in the French West Indies starting March 19. Subsequent operations will include flights between France and the Ivory Coast, commencing in April. By year-end, all Corsair routes will be operated exclusively by A330neo aircraft, ensuring one of the youngest and environmentally conscious fleets globally, thereby enhancing our customers’ travel experience.”
Corsair, a French long-haul airline with a workforce of 1,118, transports 1.5 million passengers annually to destinations including the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Africa and Canada. Operating from various French cities, Corsair aims to offer a modern, sustainable travel experience with its rejuvenated fleet.
