AEGEAN Places Major A321neo Order
AEGEAN has announced an order with Airbus for eight additional A321neo aircraft. This order will allow AEGEAN to expand its network and support its growth plans. With this latest order, AEGEAN now has a total of 60 aircraft on order from the Airbus A320neo Family, of which 37 have already been delivered.
Dimitris Gerogiannis, AEGEAN’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The expansion of our investment plan with the additional order of eight Airbus A321neo aircraft is essential for achieving our growth objectives and further enhancing the competitiveness of our operations. It is also clear that we have a strong preference for the larger-capacity and extended-range version offered by the A321neo type, which will soon represent two-thirds of our Airbus fleet.”
Benoit de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business said, “We are delighted that AEGEAN has once again chosen the fuel-efficient A321neo. This decision underscores AEGEAN’s commitment to operational excellence and enhancing the passenger experience. We value our collaboration with the largest Greek airline and look forward to continuing our partnership, supporting their growth plans within Europe and beyond.”
The A321neo is the largest member of Airbus’ best-selling A320neo Family, providing unmatched range and performance. With the integration of new-generation engines and Sharklets, the A321neo achieves over 20% fuel savings and reduces CO₂ emissions compared to previous single-aisle aircraft, all while maximizing passenger comfort in one of the widest single-aisle cabins available.
Like all Airbus aircraft, the A321neo can operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Airbus aims to enable its aircraft to be 100% SAF-capable by 2030. To date, more than 6,800 A321neo aircraft have been ordered by over 85 customers worldwide.
