Azorra delivers first Airbus A220 to Cyprus Airways

Azorra has announced the delivery of an Airbus A220-300 to Cyprus Airways, marking the beginning of a new partnership with the Cypriot flag carrier. The aircraft, previously operated by Egyptair, is part of a batch of 12 A220s acquired by Azorra in February 2024.

John Evans, CEO and Founder of Azorra, expressed his satisfaction with the new partnership, stating that the delivery of this A220, which includes freshly overhauled and updated engines from Pratt & Whitney, will enhance Cyprus Airways' existing Airbus fleet. He highlighted the A220's exceptional fuel efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and passenger comfort. Evans extended his gratitude to Cyprus Airways for its trust in Azorra and looked forward to a successful and enduring collaboration.

Thanos Paschalis, CEO of Cyprus Airways, says: “Cyprus Airways is delighted to receive one more Airbus A220 aircraft to enhance our current fleet. The aircraft encompasses the latest technology in safety and operations and has one of the best environmental footprints of any aircraft flying. Cyprus Airways is committed to developing its fleet based on safety, efficiency, sustainability and customer comfort. This aircraft as well as another brand-new unit will be delivered from Azorra.”

This delivery signifies a significant milestone for both Azorra and Cyprus Airways, underscoring the airline's dedication to modernising its fleet with state-of-the-art aircraft while forging a strong relationship with its new lessor.
