(July 17, 2008) -- Synergy Aerospace, main shareholder of Avianca and SAM in Colombia, Oceanair in Brazil and VIP in Ecuador, has signed a contract with Airbus for ten A350-800s. This contract firms up the Memorandum of Understanding signed by Synergy Aerospace and Airbus in February 2008.

"After having ordered 57 Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft, we at the group have again selected Airbus aircraft for the modernisation of our fleets", said German Efromovich, President of Synergy Aerospace. "The A350 XWB is simply the best choice for our affiliates, fulfilling our high expectations on passenger comfort and operational efficiency."

"The A350 XWB will make Synergy Aerospace's affiliates even more competitive; in terms of fuel savings and operational efficiency this aircraft is unbeatable. It has the widest fuselage, giving airlines ample cabin configuration flexibility, and the passenger maximum comfort and space. It simply offers more of all this with less fuel burn and environmental impact", said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers.
