Toulouse, 24 October 2019 -
Airbus and Spirit Airlines have agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding for the
U.S.-based airline to acquire up to 100 A320neo Family aircraft. Spirit
announced its intention to place firm orders for a mix of A319neo, A320neo, and A321neo
to meet its future fleet requirements.
“This new
order represents another milestone for Spirit,” said Spirit Airlines’ President
and CEO Ted Christie. “The additional aircraft will be used to support Spirit’s
growth as we add new destinations and expand our network across the U.S., Latin
America, and the Caribbean. We look forward to working with our valued partners
at Airbus to finalize our agreement.”
“The Airbus A320
Family has been a strong platform for the remarkable success of Spirit over the
past several years,” said Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer.
“The ongoing, enthusiastic spirit the airline demonstrates in our A320neo Family
is most rewarding, and we look forward to playing a part in the Spirit team’s
continued growth for many, many years to come.”
Spirit is a fast
growing ultra-low-cost carrier in the Americas, based in South Florida.
Featuring the
widest single-aisle cabin in the sky, the best-selling A320neo Family,
comprising the A319neo, A320neo, and A321neo, deliver at least 20% reduced fuel
burn as well as 50 percent less noise
compared to previous generation aircraft, thanks to incorporating the very
latest technologies including new generation engines and Sharklets. At the end of September 2019, the A320neo Family
had received more than 6,650 firm orders from nearly 110 customers
worldwide.
