On March 14, Airbus and AEGEAN jointly disclosed that the airline ordered eight A321neo aircraft, adding more A320neo family aircraft to its backlog. According to the carrier, this brings their total commitments to 58 aircraft.

Of these 58 planes, 34 have already been delivered, including one A320neo in 2025. Airbus is expected to deliver four more A320neo/A321neo aircraft within the year.

Furthermore, 37 of the committed planes will be the largest variants of the A320neo family, namely the A321neo. This includes four A321LR aircraft with extended range capabilities and newly designed passenger cabins configured for flights up to 7.5 hours.

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.
