Airbus brings A320neo forward to 2015
0 comment
Airbus has announced the entry into service (EIS) of its re-engined A320neo (for New Engine Option) will be in October 2015, nearly 12 months earlier than planned.
Speaking to media in Toulouse on April 5, Airbus’s COO – customers, John Leahy, said demand for the neo had been so strong that the company had decided to devote additional engineering resources to bring the aircraft to market earlier. Since launching the program late last year, Airbus has taken 332 order commitments for the new version of its popular single aisle jet, and Leahy said he has more MoUs “waiting to announce” and that he expects to have sold “more than 500” neos by June’s Paris Airshow, making it the “fastest selling airliner in history”.
