Airline Braathens streamlines its fleet – phases out Airbus
In connection with the expiration of the company's long-term commercial agreement regarding Airbus production, a market review has been conducted to ensure that the fleet strategy is in line with future market needs and creates long-term profitable growth. To better meet customer demand, the Board of Directors has decided on a direction that focuses on a growing single-type fleet of the ATR72-600 turboprop aircraft and a gradual phase-out of Airbus. The decision will make Braathens a pure ACMI provider in the turboprop segment on the European aviation market.
