Venezuela’s Rutaca Airlines has added a quartet of former Allegiant Air ‘Mad Dogs’. These encompass a pair of Pratt & Whitney JT8D-powered McDonnell Douglas MD-83s, N415NV (c/n 49909) and N417NV (c/n 53347) – now reregistered YV3521 and YV3523, respectively. Additionally, these are complemented by Long Beach, California-built MD-88s, N402NV (c/n 49763) and N414NV (c/n 49766) – now YV3522 and YV3524, respectively. It is understood these were ferried to the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, in mid-July. According to its website, Rutaca’s network consists of several domestic destinations, complemented by international links to Mexico and the Dominican Republic, using a trio of Boeing 737s (a single -200 and a pair of -300s).
Spirit Airlines has revealed its fleet plans. Its contingent of A319ceos, A320ceos and A321ceos are expected to remain at the current levels of 31, 64 and 30 jets, respectively, until at least year-end 2022. Simultaneously, the ultra-low-cost-carrier’s fleet will continue to grow as more A320neos are added. For example, the US-based carrier anticipates having 48 examples by year-end 2021, while 24 more A320neos are set to arrive by year-end 2022. For context, Spirit’s entire A320 Family fleet – comprising both ceo and neo models – would rise from 157 at year-end 2020 to 197 by the end of next year. Meanwhile, the firm has tentatively shown a delivery timeframe of 13 A321neos by year-end 2023.
