Airbus approves JAT cancellation of eight A319s

Originally ordered in 1998, JAT Yugoslav Airlines cancelled its purchase of eight A319s from Airbus in 2000 when it entered financial difficulties. The cancellation has only now been approved by the manufacturer thanks to talks with JAT’s successor company Air Serbia. None of the aircraft were ever delivered and the order has already been compensated with JAT’s new owner Etihad Airways’ order for ten A320neos in November 2013, which will be operated by Air Serbia. The deposit JAT already paid has been credited toward the pre-delivery payment for Etihad’s A320Neos. easyJet launches new pan-European holiday company easyJet holidays has today
