Airbus sells three A319s to Kingfisher
"Airbus said on Wednesday Indian budget carrier Kingfisher Airlines had signed a contract to buy three A319 aircraft. The deal comes on top of 10 orders for the A320 and options for a further 20 from the same airline, which will start taking deliveries of those planes in April. The A319s will be powered by International Aero Engines V2500s, Airbus said in a statement."
Where are they going to fly these planes??! That's a total of 13 aircraft, and they're buying them, not leasing. I suppose they will get deliveries of these 13 aircraft over a 2 year period. Even then, that's some pretty aggressive purchasing, considering their business model is not proven.
