easyJet And Airbus Confirm Huge Aircraft Deal

British low-cost carrier easyJet and Airbus have inked an agreement for 157 additional A320neo Family aircraft and purchase rights for 100 more. The order comprises 56 A320neos and 101 A321neo jets. Additionally, the airline has upsized an existing order for 35 A320neo aircraft into the larger A321neo. The newly ordered planes will be delivered between FY29 and FY34. They will help the airline phase out the older Airbus A319 fleet and replace nearly half of the A320ceo jets in its fleet. Presently, easyJet has 69 A320neo Family aeroplanes in operation. Also, by FY29, it will receive a further 158 A320neos. Like all Airbus aircraft, the A320neo Family can fly with up to 50% SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). The manufacturer has set a target to make its entire product portfolio capable of flying with up to 100% SAF by 2030.Also Read: Lufthansa Shops For Airbus And Boeing Aircraft
