Aegean, Greece’s leading airline, has announced a new order for eight Airbus A321neo aircraft as part of its ongoing fleet modernization and efforts to enhance competitiveness. With this latest order, Aegean’s total direct order book with Airbus now stands at 60 aircraft from the A320neo family, with 37 already delivered. This move aims to improve operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and expand its network of destinations.
Aegean is already known for operating a fleet primarily composed of Airbus aircraft, including A320 and A321 models, as well as the newer A320neo. With the new A321neo order, the airline continues its strategy of investing in energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable aircraft. The A321neo, equipped with Pratt & Whitney GTF engines, offers up to 20% lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions compared to older generations, along with increased passenger capacity and extended range.
“This step is crucial for our vision of sustainable growth,” said a representative of Aegean. “The A321neo will not only allow us to offer a premium travel experience but also help us reduce our carbon footprint and adapt to the demands of the modern aviation industry.”
Aegean currently operates a fleet of 83 aircraft (including those of its subsidiary Olympic Airlines), serving domestic and international routes. Alongside the A320neo, the A321neo will enable the airline to more efficiently serve popular destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
The first A321neo aircraft are expected to be delivered by the end of 2026.
