Startup airline Libyan Wings plans to commence short-haul services early next year before building a wider network using Airbus SAS’s latest A350 long-haul plane, which it ordered today at the Dubai Air Show.
The Tripoli-based carrier signed an outline deal for the purchase of three A350-900 jets and four of Airbus’s re-engined A320neo single-aisle aircraft worth $1.2 billion at list prices. Airbus said the planes will be delivered after 2020.
