Heard also they have a 'large' order coming up shortly as well.
Taken from the FlightCheck book i bought back earlier this month:

Low cost carrier Vueling has reiterated that it will make a long anticipated narrowbody order by the end of the summer.

Chief Executive officer Alex Cruz, speaking to analysists during a second quarter results call on 1st August said ''Our project continues. We are in phase three of out evaluation. We are on track and we hope to make a decision after the summer, maybe in September or October depending on the date of our board meeting.''

The Barcelona based airline has added 14 Airbus A320 family jets to its operation since the demise of Spanair earlier this year, taking its fleet to 55 A320's and three A319's. The majority of the new additions are on three year operating leases.

Vueling will end of the summer with a total fleet of 60 aircraft, but may need to renew its enture fleet at the beginning of 2015.

''We are pleased with data and proposals submitted by the three vendors Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier and we are still in the negotiation phase. It is an important project for Vueling'' says Cruz.
