“Airbus welcomes this latest commitment for the A320neo Family from a customer in the fast-growing Asia region. The A320neo is the best-selling single aisle aircraft family in the world,โ€ said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. โ€œThe NEO offers airlines a unique combination of unbeatable economics and outstanding cabin comfort.

The A320neo Family is the worldโ€™s best-selling single aisle product line with nearly 3,800 orders received from 72 customers since its launch in 2010, capturing almost 60 percent of the market. The A320neo Family incorporates latest technologies including new generation engines and Sharklet wing tip devices which together deliver more than 15 percent in fuel savings from day one and 20 percent by 2020 with further cabin innovations.

Thanks to their widest cabin, all members of the A320neo Family offer unmatched comfort in all classes and Airbusโ€™ 18โ€ wide seats in economy as standard.

With one aircraft in three sizes (A319neo, A320neo & A321neo), the A320neo Family, seating from 100 to 240 passengers, seamlessly covers the entire single-aisle segment from low to high-density configurations on domestic to longer range routes.
