AEGEAN orders additional eight Airbus A321neo expanding fleet commitment

According to ch-aviation data, AEGEAN currently operates 20 A320neo and 14 A321neo aircraft in its fleet. Five and six single-aisle jets respectively are marked inactive. All delivered planes are powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engines which have faced accelerated removals and inspections due to contamination issues during manufacturing.

Dimitris Gerogiannis, CEO of AEGEAN said that this order is part of an expanded investment plan aimed at achieving growth objectives. “It is also clear that we have a strong preference for the larger-capacity and extended-range version of the A321neo type which will soon represent two-thirds of our Airbus fleet,” he added.

Gerogiannis thanked Airbus for their partnership saying it underscores AEGEAN's commitment to operational excellence. Benoit de Saint-Exupery, Executive Vice President (EVP) Sales at Airbus Commercial Aircraft expressed delight over AEGEAN’s selection once again saying it highlights their focus on enhancing passenger experience.
