A320neo: The Intersection of Efficiency and Comfort
With over 19,000 orders worldwide, the Airbus A320 Family remains one of the most popular choices in the single-aisle aircraft category. The family also includes the A321neo model, which offers extended range and high performance.
The A320neo delivers at least 20% fuel savings and a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to previous-generation aircraft, alongside a 50% noise footprint reduction. Its spacious cabin, among the widest in its class, enhances passenger comfort to the highest standards.
Standing out for its eco-friendly technologies, the A320 Family is already capable of operating with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with a goal of achieving 100% SAF compatibility by 2030.
