GREECE’S FLAG carrier Aegean Airlines has disclosed an order with Airbus for an extra eight A321neos. The jets will enable the Athens-based operator to further grow its network and support its expansion plans. With this latest commitment, its total direct order book with Airbus stands at 60 A320neos, with 37 already delivered. Dimitris Gerogiannis, Aegean’s CEO, commented: “The expansion of our investment plan with the additional order of eight Airbus A321neo aircraft is essential for achieving our growth objectives and further enhancing the competitiveness of our operations. It is also clear that we have a strong preference for the larger-capacity and extended-range version offered by the A321neo, which will soon represent two-thirds of our Airbus fleet.”
Benoit de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP for sales of commercial aircraft, said: “We are delighted that Aegean has once again chosen the fuel-efficient A321neo. This decision underscores [its] commitment to operational excellence and enhancing the passenger experience. We value our collaboration with the largest Greek airline and look forward to continuing our partnership, supporting their growth plans within Europe and beyond.”
