GlobalX takes delivery of first aircraft

On 17 January, GlobalX Airlines took delivery of its first aircraft, Airbus A320 N223FR (2695). It was welcomed at the company's base at Miami-International (FL) with the traditional water cannon salute by the airport's fire brigade. In the coming weeks the aircraft is set to be registered as N276GX. A second aircraft is also painted and almost ready for delivery. This is A321 ES-MLS (2480), which is currently being prepared at Tallin and will become N277GX.

GlobalX is planning to operate passenger (charter) flights as well as cargo flights out of two bases at Atlantic City (NJ) and Miami (FL). It has orders for ten A321PFs, of which the first is set to be delivered before July. On the passenger-side, GlobalX wants to grow to five aircraft, all A320 or A321s. Later on, it has ambitions to expand with the A330 as well.
