Germania becomes new Airbus A321 operator

S.A.T., the holding company of the Berlin-based German carrier Germania, has taken delivery of its first out of two A321s on order, equipped with Airbus' sharklet wing tip fuel saving devices.

The airline has already been operating eight A319 successfully since 2011.

The new Germania A321 will operate exclusively for Alltours, one of Germany’s biggest travel agencies. The airline has chosen a spacious single class cabin layout for 208 passengers. The cabin will be equipped with a state-of-the-art entertainment system, featuring video screens and in-seat audio channels. The aircraft will be powered by CFM engines.

“The delivery of our first brand-new A321 marks the beginning of a new era for Germania," said Andreas Wobig, Germania CEO. "With 208 seats, the aircraft capacity is one third higher than the jets we currently operate. This means that in the future, charter and scheduled flights on particularly popular routes can be operated even more economically. We are delighted with our A321s as they are especially fuel-efficient and make an important contribution to climate protection.”

John Leahy, chief operating officer, Customers, said: “We are delighted that Germania has become the latest operator of the largest member of the hugely successful A320-Family. Thanks to Airbus’ unique commonality, the new A321s will fit seamlessly into Germania’s exiting fleet of Airbus A319s. The Sharklets will deliver Germania up to 4% in reduced fuel burn whilst passengers will benefit from the A320 family’s widest and most comfortable cabin.”
