CIT orders 10 A330s, including first commitment for the new longer ranger version

CIT Group Inc and Airbus announced (11-Jul-2012) a firm order for 10 A330 family aircraft. This deal includes five A330s ordered previously and a new agreement for five additional A330s, with the first commitment for the newly launched, longer-range A330 with increased take-off weight limits. Five A330 aircraft were ordered earlier this year in conjunction with the cancellation of orders for four A320 family aircraft and the exercise of an aircraft purchase option. This brings the total number of A330s on order from CIT to 51. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2014. [more - original PR - CIT] more - original PR - Airbus]
