Nordwind Airlines adds a 1st A321neo

On 12 June, Nordwind Airlines took delivery of its first A321neo, VQ-BJC (7694). The aircraft has previously been in use with Holiday Europe as LZ-HEH (2020-2021), Onur Air as TC-OED (2019-2020) and WOW Air as TF-SKY (2017-2019). It is leased via Air Lease Corporation and conducted its first commercial flight a day later.

It's unclear if more A321neos will follow soon. Next to this A321neo, the airline's fleet also consists of ten A321s, three A330-200s, thirteen B737-800s, five B777-200s and three B777-300ERs.

Nordwind Airlines was founded in 2008 and has its base at Moscow-Sheremetyevo Airport. It's predominantly a leisure airline and serves more than 80 destinations. It also owns Ikar, which flies under the Pegas Fly-brand.
