Drukair – Royal Bhutan Airlines<\/strong>, the national flag carrier of the Kingdom of Bhutan, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for 3 A320neo and 2 A321XLR aircraft to expand its international network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new aircraft are anticipated to start delivery in 2030.
