easyJet has ordered 56 Airbus A320neo Family
aircraft after the airline received shareholder approval.
The order, part of easyJet’s fleet renewal and
up-gauging, cost and sustainability enhancements, includes an
upsizing of 18 A320neo to the larger A321neo model.

“We believe
this order will support positive returns for the business and the
delivery of our strategic objectives,” said Kenton Jarvis, CFO for
easyJet. “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.”
easyJet currently operates a fleet of over
300 A320 Family including the A319, A320ceo, A320neo and A321neo,
making it the world’s largest airline operator of Airbus’ single
aisle aircraft.
The airline uses the aircraft to serve over 130 European airports in some
31 countries operating over 1,000 routes.
“easyJet has democratised flying for millions of travellers 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,” said Christian
Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus
International.
The A320neo
Family incorporates the very latest technologies including new
generation engines and Sharklets, which together deliver a fuel
saving of at least
20% compared to older aircraft.
