Toulouse, 31 August
2021
– Jet2.com has placed an initial order for 36
A321neos making the airline based in Leeds, United Kingdom, a new Airbus
customer and a new Airbus A320neo Family operator. The order reflects
Jet2.com’s ambitious fleet expansion and renewal plans. Engine selection will
be made at a later date.
Philip Meeson, Jet2.com Executive Chairman said, “Jet2.com
will be proud to operate the Airbus A321neo in the years ahead.
This aircraft is, in our opinion, the most efficient and
environmentally friendly aircraft in its class today – it will give our
holiday customers a wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable experience as they travel with us
for their well deserved Jet2holiday.”
The aircraft will be configured for 232 seats with an Airspace cabin
featuring innovative lighting, new seating products and 60 percent larger
overhead baggage bins for added personal storage.
“We very much welcome Jet2.com’s
decision. Traditionally having been operating non fly-by-wire aircraft, we
note with great satisfaction that after having tested a couple of leased
A321s and run a comprehensive evaluation, Jet2.com is forward looking and
investing in modern and future proof Airbus fly-by-wire technology. This is a
testimony to Jet2.com’s vision of efficiency, quality, performance and
environmentally friendly flying,” said Christian Scherer, Chief
Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International.
The A320neo Family incorporates the latest
technologies, including new generation engines and Sharklets, delivering a 20
per cent reduction in fuel consumption per seat. With an additional range of
up to 500 nautical miles/900 km. or two tonnes of extra payload, the A321neo
will deliver Jet2.com with additional revenue potential.
At the end of July 2021, the A320neo Family
had won over 7,400 firm orders from over 120 customers worldwide.
