Airbus Advances A320neo Delivery Schedule

Hopes To Have Re-Engined Aircraft Flying By October 2015

Airbus officials said this week that they can get their re-engined A320neo flying as early as six months ahead of their previously-announced schedule.

Airbus said in a news release that the principal factor in the advancement of the schedule is the emergence of Pratt & Whitney’s PW1100G turbofan as the lead development engine for the A320neo Family, which is says will pave the way for the industrial development phase to begin in earnest. In addition, with total A320neo Family commitments now already in excess of 300, Airbus has responded to what it calls "spectacular market reception" by bringing forward the entry-into-service from 2016 to October 2015.

The A320neo incorporates new more efficient engines and large "Sharklet" wing tip devices, which the company says together with the new engines will deliver up to 15 percent in fuel savings. This will represent some 3,600 tonnes less CO2 per aircraft, per year. In addition, Airbus estimates that the A320neo will provide a double-digit reduction in NOx emissions and reduced engine noise.

“The exceptional market demand for the A320neo Family as airlines recognize the operational, economic and environmental advantages which the neo will deliver, has encouraged us to advance the entry into service date to October 2015,” says John Leahy, Airbus’ Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “Together with our engine partners, Pratt & Whitney and CFMI, we’re making every possible effort to bring the first A320neo aircraft into service for our customers as quickly as possible."
