ARRIVAL OF 8Q IAN- FIRST AIRBUS 320 AIRCRAFT TO THE MALDIVIAN FLEET

Maldivian – The National Carrier of Maldives welcomed its first A320 aircraft

Maldivian is proud to welcome today our first Airbus 320 aircraft at Ibrahim Nasir International Airport. The engineering and operations team have worked diligently in readying the aircraft for flight next month.

The aircraft interior was modified to a three class configuration: 14 business, 24 premium and 114 economy class seats and was installed with an in-flight entertainment system.

Training, maintenance and operation procedures needed to be adapted to the specific characteristics of the A320, while ensuring an efficient and effective implementation schedule that will facilitate safe, effective, and sustained operations.

The aircraft was ferried from Toulouse, France to Maldives via Doha. The aircraft arrived at 1030hrs.
