TAM Receives Another Two Airbus A320s
|
TAM has added two more Airbus A320s, capable of carrying up to 174 passengers, to its operating fleet. With these two A320s, TAM now has a fleet in operation consisting of 108 aircraft, made up of 105 Airbus models (15 A319s, 73 A320s, 3 A321s, 12 A330s and 2 A340s) and 3 MD-11s. From the start of 2008, the company began to operate on the domestic market with a fleet made up exclusively of Airbus aircraft.
TAM has a consistent and flexible long-term fleet plan to sustain expansion in the international and domestic markets. The company plans to end 2008 with 123 aircraft. The forecast for the end of 2012 is 147 planes in operation.
Used on TAMīs domestic routes and South American destinations, the A320s are among the most comfortable aircraft operating within Brazil in their category. All of TAMīs aircraft are equipped with the best and most advanced equipment options and software offered by the manufacturer, making the fleet one of the most advanced in the world.
To sustain its international network expansion, TAM will receive two Airbus A330 aircraft by the end of the year. In the second half of the year the company will also begin to receive four Boeing 777-300 ERs, which will replace the MD-11 aircraft used on long-haul routes. Additionally, TAM intends to introduce two Boeing 767-300s into its fleet in the next few months in order to take advantage of the growth opportunities in the international market.
