FlyOne Armenia has converted a provisional agreement into a firm order for two Airbus A321neos. The Yerevan-based carrier signed the preliminary deal in May, during a visit to Armenia by French president Emmanuel Macron.
Each jet will be powered by CFM International Leap-1A engines. The airline intends to fit the aircraft in a single-class layout seating 239 passengers.
The carrier's chief executive, Aram Khachatryan, described the agreement as a significant step in the airline's growth and its first order placed directly with Airbus, adding that the aircraft would be built specifically for FlyOne Armenia.
FlyOne Armenia started flying in 2021. Its current fleet numbers 11 Airbus A320-family aircraft. In August the carrier agreed to wet-lease another A320 from Avion Express for the summer period.
No delivery schedule for the two A321neos has been announced.
