GoAir takes delivery of first 'sharklets' equipped Airbus A320

After IndiGo, another low-cost carrier GoAir took the delivery of its first 'sharklets' equipped fuel-efficient A320 aircraft.

The aircraft is part of an order placed by GoAir for 20 A320neo in 2006. So far, 13 aircraft have been delivered to GoAir making the first Sharklet equipped A320 the 14th to join the fleet. All subsequent seven deliveries would be equipped with sharklets, a company spokesperson said in a statement.

Sharklets are an option on new-build A320 family aircraft and offer operators the option of an additional 100 nautical miles range or increased payload capability of up to 450 kilograms. They are standard on all members of the A320neo family.

In 2011, GoAir placed an order for 72 A320neo aircraft.
