Air Europa has signed a MoU with Airbus for up to 40 A350-900 aircraft, marking a significant step in the Spanish carrier's long-haul fleet renewal. The agreement was announced at the Dubai Airshow 2025 and is expected to accelerate the replacement of older widebodies.
Spain's Directorate of Civil Aviation has assigned seven weekly frequencies to Air Europa to operate between Barcelona and Istanbul, marking a significant expansion into the Turkish market. This new route represents an entirely new vector for growth for the Spanish carrier, which traditionally focused on Western European and Latin American markets.
Air Europa and Airbus have finalized a Memorandum of Understanding for 40 A350-900s at Fitur in Madrid. The agreement is expected to accelerate the replacement of older widebodies and strengthen Air Europa's position on transatlantic routes.
