British Air Carrier to Acquire 56 A320neo Family Narrowbody Airliners
Airbus, the European multinational aerospace powerhouse, has announced that easyJet, the British low-cost airline, has confirmed an order for 56 of the airframer’s A320neo family narrow-body airliners. The order furthers the airline's objective of renewing and up-gauging its fleet for purpose of enhancing its operational revenue and long-term sustainability. Among the deal’s details is an upsizing of 18 of easyJet’s A320neo orders to the larger A321neo model.
Kenton Jarvis, easyJet CFO, said of the agreement: “We believe this order will support positive returns for the business and the delivery of our strategic objectives. The new aircraft are aligned with easyJet's sustainability strategy, with the adoption of the more efficient new technology aircraft being a core component of easyJet's path to net zero emissions. Alongside this, the new aircraft are significantly quieter, with half the noise footprint of the older aircraft they are replacing.”
Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer stated: "easyJet has democratized flying for millions of travelers and we are delighted this latest agreement for 56 A320neo Family aircraft not only future proofs its growth as traffic rebounds, but also lays the foundations for its sustainability journey.”
Currently, easyJet operates a fleet of over three hundred A320 Family aircraft including the A319, A320ceo, A320neo, and A321neo, making it the world’s largest airline operator of Airbus’ single-aisle aircraft. easyJet serves over 130 European airports in some 31 countries operating over one-thousand routes.
The A320neo family incorporates contemporary technologies the likes of Airbus’s Sharklets, a proprietary winglet design which, in conjunction with new, highly-efficient engines (neo is an acronym for New Engine Option) affords operators fuel savings of at least twenty percent over previous A320 models.
Airbus maintains that the A320neo Family is the world’s most popular aircraft. Boeing and Cessna disagree.
