CHONGQING: An Airbus A319neo aircraft equipped with a decentralised pulse oxygen system (DPOS) has arrived at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport from Hamburg, Germany, to support the ongoing Spring Festival travel rush.

According to its operator West Air, the aircraft is the first Airbus aircraft globally equipped with a DPOS, which enhances the aircraft’s safety margins and loading capacity.

The aircraft’s arrival also marked the expansion of its Airbus fleet to 45, and will soon enter service on popular tourist routes in Yunnan province, the carrier said.

“This aircraft excels in safety, efficiency, environmental consciousness and exceptional navigation capabilities in challenging flight environments, particularly on high-altitude routes,” said West Air president Shuai Sheng.

Apart from the delivered aircraft, the Chongqing-based low-cost carrier plans to introduce six more this year. Operating an extensive network of routes, especially to high-altitude destinations, the airline said it had recently scheduled over 1,000 extra flights on domestic routes.

The weekly flight frequency on international routes will exceed 40 flights. — China Daily/ANN
