BOC Aviation adds firm order for five A321s

BOC Aviation placed (31-Aug-2016) a firm order with Airbus for five A321s. The new order is in addition to an order announced in Jan-2016 for 30 A320 family aircraft which included 15 A321s (eight A321neo and seven A321ceo). BOC Aviation MD and CEO Robert Martin said the increase in the order for the A321 is in response to the "market trend and appetite for larger capacity single-aisle aircraft." [more - original PR]
