Corsair is poised to become a new Airbus customer, with an order for two A330-200s to boost its long haul charter fleet. The French carrier operates an all-Boeing fleet of 737s and 747s on short and long haul charters for its parent company, tour operator Nouvelles Frontiers. The airline has a memorandum of understanding with Airbus for two A330-200s, for delivery in 1999 and 2000. Meanwhile, UK charter Leisure International Airways has confirmed its order for two Pratt & Whitney PW4168A-powered A330-200s. The two aircraft will be delivered in early 2000, replacing two leased Boeing 767-300ERs.
