29 December 2020: As a part of fleet modernization strategy, Aircalin recently took delivery of its first Airbus A320neo powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1000 engines and configured in a single class layout with 168 seats. With this delivery Aircalin will be able to increase capacity on its flights and open new routes across the Pacific region.
With its new fleet the airline benefits from the lowest operating costs in the respective size categories, as well as the unique commonality between variants of the Airbus Family.
The A320neo Family offers the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky and incorporates the latest technologies, including new generation engines and Sharklets, delivering a 20 per cent reduction in fuel consumption, as well as 50 per cent less noise compared to previous generation aircraft.
At the end of November 2020, the A320neo Family had received 7,455 firm orders from over 120 customers worldwide.
