Abra Group, which controls Avianca and Brazil’s GOL airlines, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for five A350-900s to further expand its international long-haul operations and increase capacity. This is in line with the Group’s strategic plans to offer millions of passengers greater connectivity to new destinations on long-range routes.
“We are delighted to announce this agreement with Airbus. We believe the arrival of these five A350s, which offer a best-in-class passenger experience, are more fuel efficient and have a lower cost per seat than competitor aircraft, will allow us to strengthen our commitment to make travel more accessible and responsible”, Adrian Neuhauser, CEO of Abra Group said.

“We are delighted to see the Abra Group endorsing the A350 to continue its mission of strengthening air connectivity between Latin America and the rest of the world. The selection of the A350 reaffirms the aircraft as the undisputed leader in long-haul air travel”, Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Executive Vice President Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business said.
The group did not specify which airline would operate these aircraft.
The A350 is the world’s most modern and efficient widebody aircraft and the long range leader in the 300-410 seater category, flying efficiently on any sector from short-haul to ultra-long-haul routes up to 9,700nm.
