Jet2.com has placed an initial order for 36 A321neos making the Leeds, U.K.-based airline, a new Airbus customer and a new Airbus A320neo-family operator. The order reflects Jet2.com's ambitious fleet expansion and renewal plans. Engine selection will be made at a later date.
The aircraft will be configured for 232 seats with an airspace cabin featuring innovative lighting, new seating products, and 60% larger overhead baggage bins for added personal storage.
The A320neo family incorporates the latest technologies, including new-generation engines and Sharklets, delivering a 20% reduction in fuel consumption per seat. With an additional range of up to 500 nautical miles/900 km, or two tonnes of extra payload, the A321neo will deliver Jet2.com with additional revenue potential.
