Several airlines operate only Airbus aircraft globally

simpleflying.com

Many airlines around the world operate fleets made up entirely of Airbus planes. This approach has its advantages, including lower training costs for pilots and better pricing on aircraft orders. In Europe, several budget airlines stick only to Airbus. EasyJet flies over 300 Airbus aircraft. Others include WizzAir, which operates more than 200 Airbus models, and Vueling, with over 100 Airbus jets. Meanwhile, some long-haul budget airlines like Corsair International and LEVEL focus on Airbus wide bodies for their international routes. Some full-service carriers in Europe also use only Airbus jets for short flights. For instance, Aegean Airlines and KM Malta Airlines rely exclusively on Airbus A320 family models. Brussels Airlines and ITA Airways also operate all-Airbus fleets but include wide-body aircraft. In North America, a few low-cost carriers, like Frontier and Spirit, only use Airbus jets. JetBlue plans to become all-Airbus soon as it retires its Embraers. Similarly, Mexican airlines VivaAerobus and Volaris only operate Airbus models. Asia features a mix of all-Airbus airlines too. Major low-cost carriers like AirAsia and Air Busan operate solely Airbus aircraft. Other airlines, such as SriLankan Airlines and Middle East Airlines, have diverse fleets but rely only on Airbus for their operations. In Africa and South America, the list is shorter. Tunisair in Tunisia and JetSmart in Chile only fly Airbus planes, completing the circle of all-Airbus airlines worldwide.
