Airbus and easyJet have finalized a firm order for 157 additional A320neo Family aircraft, consisting of 56 A320neo and 101 A321neo aircraft.
Johan Lundgren, CEO, easyJet said, “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. 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.”
Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International at Airbus Said, “Airbus is delighted to be accompanying easyJet in its fleet growth and renewal. Its Airbus fleet allows easyJet to differentiate its offering in its competitive market with the most state-of-the-art, modern and comfortable aircraft. easyJet and Airbus both are strong advocates for the aviation sector to de-carbonise. This significant investment into the most fuel-efficient and SAF-capable aircraft is a testimony to our joint commitment in this respect. Bravo easyJet, and thank you.”
