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.
