Airbus and easyJet have finalized a firm order for 157 additional A320neo Family aircraft, consisting of 56 A320neo and 101 A321neo aircraft. This order also involves the conversion of 35 A320neo into the larger A321neo. The decision aligns with easyJet’s strategy for fleet renewal, incorporating more efficient aircraft and facilitating disciplined growth.
“We are very pleased to be able to confirm this significant order which not only enables easyJet to replace its older aircraft with more efficient aircraft, a core component of our net zero roadmap, but also provides us ability for disciplined growth, including the significant opportunity that upgauging brings,” said Johan Lundgren, CEO, easyJet.“With this order easyJet will be able to continue to cement its leading position at Europe’s primary airports and so we look forward to working in partnership with Airbus in the years to come,” he further added.
