Azerbaijan Airlines Is The Latest Customer For AerCap

Aircraft lessor AerCap has found a new customer: Azerbaijan Airlines. The two parties have inked agreements under which the former will supply the latter with six narrowbody jets. Which ones? All are from the European manufacturer Airbus’ A320neo family, precisely three units each of the A320neo and A321neo. The six single-aisle aeroplanes will get their thrust from CFM LEAP engines. The jets should join the carrier’s fleet in 2026.

The new aircraft will strengthen the network and help Azerbaijan Airlines progress towards fleet modernisation.

Etihad To Fly More Flights On The Abu Dhabi-Jaipur Route

In June this year, Etihad Airways began direct flights between its primary hub, Abu Dhabi, and Jaipur, India. The airline has received an overwhelming response from the four-month-old route. To that end, the #UAE’s national carrier has decided to add more flights between the cities.

Starting December 15, 2024, ten weekly flights will operate between the UAE’s capital and the capital of Rajasthan. Flight EY 0326 will depart from Abu Dhabi and land in Jaipur at 14:25 and 19:00, respectively. The return leg – EY 0327 – will fly out of Jaipur at 22:00 and arrive in Abu Dhabi at 00:45 the next day. These flights will operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

In case those times aren’t suitable, there’s another option. Flight EY 0328 will depart from Abu Dhabi and land in Jaipur at 02:10 the next day (operation days: Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays). The service back – EY 0329 – will leave Jaipur and arrive in Abu Dhabi at 03:15 and 06:00, respectively (operation days: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays).

Etihad will ferry passengers aboard Airbus A320 family aircraft, featuring Business Class and Economy sections.

Vietnam Airlines Starts Direct Flights To Munich From Two Cities

Vietnam’s flag carrier, Vietnam Airlines, has established a direct link between Hanoi and Munich, Germany. The airline launched nonstop service between the cities on October 5. The outbound flight – VN35 – departed from Vietnam’s capital at five minutes past midnight for the capital of Bavaria. The return service flew out of the Munich International Airport at 13:35 the same day. Both times mentioned are local.

On the newly introduced route, Vietnam Airlines will operate two weekly services. Flights will depart from Hanoi on Fridays and Sundays, whereas those coming the other way will leave from Munich on Saturdays and Mondays.

That’s not all. On October 7, 2024, the airline introduced a direct flight to Munich from Ho Chi Minh City. This route will operate once a week on Mondays (return flight on Tuesdays). However, an additional service on Wednesdays (return on Thursdays) will be introduced in December this year. Last month, the carrier announced its plan to start nonstop flights between Hanoi and Milan next year.
