KOREAN AIR has signed a letter of intent for two Airbus A330-200s, the new shortened version of the aircraft aimed at developing thinner, long-range routes.
The new commitment is believed to be the conversion of two options taken out with an earlier order for seven A330-300s, and may lead to a contract for between ten and 12 of the type (Flight International, 14-21 February, P21).
The South Korean flag carrier is expanding its fleet to meet continued traffic growth. Between February 1997 and November 2000, it will take delivery of an average of seven aircraft a year, including the seven A330-300s, eight Boeing 747-400s, four 747-400Fs, four 777-200Bs and eight 777-300s.
