Air Algerie confirms triple order for A330s

Air Algerie has ordered three Airbus A330-200s according to the latest numbers released by the European manufacturer.

Of the airframer’s long-haul lines, only the A330 increased its order count in September.
Airbus delivered 443 aircraft in the first three-quarters of the year, two fewer than it managed by the same point last year. Boeing has delivered 528 aircraft in the same period .
Meanwhile Egyptian carrier Nile Air is believed to have cancelled most of the Airbus A321s it ordered six years ago.
The airline ordered the aircraft in December 2008, about a year after it disclosed the selection at the Dubai air show.
