THE LATAM Airlines Group has made an agreement with Airbus to purchase 28 new A320neo Family aircraft. At the time of writing, a delivery timeframe was not disclosed. This acquisition builds upon a previous 42-strong narrowbody deal agreed with the European manufacturer.
The latest move will help the Group to “reinforce the sustainable growth plan” while allowing it to strengthen operations across all its subsidiaries at a regional level. Introducing more A320neo Family jets would also boost its sustainability strategy, thanks to the type’s higher fuel-efficiency and lower CO ² emissions.
