Airbus, Senegal Airlines in six aircraft deal

Airbus has signed a letter of intent to sell four A320 and two A330 aircraft to Senegal Airlines, according to a statement on Wednesday. Senegal Airlines, the new national carrier of the West African country, will launch services to other African destinations in early 2010. The new, private sector-dominated national airline was launched last month and replaces Air Senegal International (ASI) which collapsed earlier this year.
