The new fleet will be used to expand new, single-class, lowfare route network between Macau and a number of cities in PRC, Japan, Vietnam and other points around Asia in 2008.
The first aircraft will be delivered at the end of this year and the last of plane scheduled for first quarter of 2009.
The move is part of the airline’s strategic plan to grow its fleet of 11 aircraft by the end of 2010.
Francis Wai, Macau Asia Express CEO, said the ‘sister fleet’ of this size, especially in the current marketplace in which aircraft supply is extremely limited.
“An operating lease arrangement of this scope delivers the initial momentum to begin our growth and enables us to concentrate on adding new routes and additional frequencies in line with customer needs,” Wai further added as quoted by CAPA.
