TransAsia Airways Orders A330 and more A321s

TransAsia Airways of Taiwan has placed a firm order with Airbus for two A330-300s and six A321s. The airline plans to use these aircraft on routes to Mainland China as well as on regional routes.
The airline currently operates a fleet of five A321s, two A320s and nine ATR72-500s.

An engine selection for the new order was not announced.
“This new aircraft order reflects the strong demand on our services to mainland China and the region,” said Vincent Lin, Chairman, of TransAsia Airways. “TransAsia will benefit from the high level of technical and operational commonality offered by the Airbus product line, with the A330s flying on our trunk routes and the A321s enabling us to develop further our network both to the mainland and around the region.”
