According to Airbus’s official data, Ural Airlines has recently set an unprecedented operation record involving the use of A-320 aircraft. The company’s daily average use of Airbus planes came to 13.02 hours in March 2008 (while all the scheduled maintenance operations were strictly adhered to).

‘We looked into our data and have to say that this is the most impressive figure among all the existing carriers of the world,’ says Airbus’s local representative.

This means that Ural Airlines’ Marketing and Timetable experts managed to plan the flight timetable and make amends for the average rapidity of ground servicing in such a way that made it possible for an Airbus to spend thirteen hours out of twenty-four up in the air, the airline’s press officer reports. It takes great logistics and exceptional quality maintenance of the company’s four A-320 aircraft to achieve something as effective as this.

Ural Airlines will probably receive its fifth Airbus in the middle of June 2008.
