Airbus A320neo

The Airbus A320neo is a medium-range, narrowbody airliner which first flew in 2014. The aircraft is powered by CFM LEAP or Pratt & Whitney GTF turbofan engines and is part of a new generation aircraft family that includes the A319neo and A321neo. The A320neo was introduced with launch customer Lufthansa on 25th January 2016.

History & development

Development of the Airbus A320neo began in 2010, with the first flight taking place in 2014. According to Airbus, the A320neo burns around 15% less fuel than the original A320, as well as having an increased range and a lower noise and emissions footprint. It features new engines, aerodynamic refinements, and a redesigned cabin interior. All A320 aircraft share the same fly-by-wire flight controls and common systems, meaning the costs of pilot training and maintenance are reduced.
