Airbus gains new Asian customer

TIBET AIRLINES, based at Lhasa, has chosen the Airbus A319 for the nucleus of its fleet.  Three aircraft have been initially ordered.  Established earlier this year the airline will make its maiden flight in the middle of next year soon after the first aircraft is delivered.  It will be configured with eight First Class seats and 120 in Economy.   The A319 has already been proven to be ideal for operations in and out of Lhasa, and other high altitude airports both in Tibet and China.  Tibet Airlines plans to expand regionally with a target of 20 aircraft. www.airbus.com
