Global Crossing Airlines Signs Order For Its First Airbus A320
Global Crossing Airlines, the Miami-based start-up, announced today that it has signed a letter of intent to buy one Airbus A320-200. The airline hasn’t announced any further details about the aircraft, but the data has been incorporated into Global Crossing’s manual set, which has been sent to the FAA for approval.
Global Crossing, or Global X, is one step closer to getting in the air. The airline announced today it had signed a letter of intent to purchase an A320-200 aircraft. It also announced that it has sent the aircraft information to the FAA as it continues to seek formal approval and certification.
Just last week, the airline announced it had also signed an Airport and Terminal Use agreement with Atlantic City International Airport. The airline plans to base its charter operations from the airport and is looking to develop facilities there, including a new hangar and maintenance options.
FAA approval
Although Global X is closer to being a fully-certified airline, they still need FAA approval. The airline confirmed that with the new purchase agreement, they are in Phase 2 of the process. This requires a prospective carrier to submit details of their aircraft agreements, facility agreements, schedule plans, manuals, programs, risk assessment, compliance and audit forms, and official documents to the FAA. The FAA then looks over the proposal and meets with the airline to discuss any issues.
