Correspondent post courtesy of Álvaro Romero: The Ultra Low-Cost Carrier JetSMART Argentina officially presented its first (of three) Airbus A321neo, yesterday February 20 in a ceremony at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, Buenos Aires. It is also the first A321neo to be operated by an Argentina-based airline.
According to JetSMART, the A321neo will allow the company to increase in 86% the availability of domestic flight seats and in 13% on the international operations. According to Estuardo Ortiz (CEO of the airline) “in the last six months we increased our local fleet -Argentina- in 65% and that is just the beginning of our planning for this year”
The plane (Airbus A321-271NX) is registered CC-AWW (c/n 11209) and named Delfin Mular (hence the dolphin decoration in its tail). It was registered in Chile in March 2023. It has 240 seats that are covered with the environmentally friendly Eleather, which reduces fuel consumption by US$10,000 per year.
