Greek airline Sky Express has received its first Airbus A320neo, one of six aircraft to be delivered to the airline.
Sky Express says it aims to open Athens-Thessaloniki services on December 14.
The aircraft (SX-IOG) is powered by CFM International Leap-1A engines and, according to Cirium fleet data, is leased by the US-based Aviation Capital Group.
Sky Express, which uses ATR turboprop, received the twin-engine on November 27 and says it will place the type on other routes, including Athens-Rhodes.
Aviation Capital Group recently said it would supply four A320neos to the airline. The second will arrive in December, while two more will be delivered in February next year.
"With our wings and strength, we are expanding our fleet, we are increasing our destinations," says Ioannis Grylos, director of the IOGR group with which the airline is associated.
"We are changing the landscape of aviation in our country by supporting the Greek economy."
