Bogota, Columbia-based consortium, Synergy Aerospace has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for 10 A350-800s and 10 options. This further commitment comes in addition to the 47 A320 family aircraft and 10 A330-200s that its subsidiaries already have on order, making it a key customer for Airbus in Latin America.
The group includes subsidiaries, Colombia-based Avianca and SAM, Ocean Air of Brazil, Peru-based Wayra and VIP in Ecuador.
"This new order consolidates our fleet renewal and expansion programme. Our affiliates will be the biggest beneficiaries of Airbus’ outstanding product. We will also benefit greatly from the commonality of these A350s with our A320 and A330 aircraft," said Synergy Aerospace president German Efromovich.
