Aer Lingus has declared that it has signed a lease deal for two new Airbus A320neo aircraft. This new generation aircraft will support the airline\u2019s sustainability program. Aer Lingus, as part of IAG, has pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and has committed to powering 10 percent of its flights operating sustainable aviation fuel by 2030.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement was signed with CDB Aviation, a wholly-owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co. Limited (\u2018CDB Leasing\u2019), and will see the new generation A320neo join Aer Lingus<\/a>\u2019 fleet for the very first time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will replace 2 previous generations of Airbus A320ceos, which will be retired from the fleet. The new A320neos are expected to enter into service towards the end of July 2022. The Airbus <\/a>A320neo delivers up to a 20 percent reduction in fuel burn and CO2 emissions and near to a 50 percent reduction in noise footprint when compared to the previous generation A320ceo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a greater density of seats on the A320neo aircraft, 186 versus 174 on the previous generation A320neo, resulting in lower fuel emissions per seat\/passenger on board.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new aircraft will be delivered in complete Aer Lingus<\/a> livery, branding, and cabin interior and will complete the airline\u2019s A321neo LR aircraft, eight of which have been said to the Aer Lingus<\/a> transatlantic fleet in current years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two new A320neo aircraft will join the Aer Lingus fleet for short-haul operations and will predominantly operate between London Heathrow and Dublin. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynne Embleton, Aer Lingus CEO, said: \u201cThis is a great opportunity to bring new, state-of-the-art aircraft into our short-haul fleet. Renewing our fleet is one of the key ways for Aer Lingus to meet our sustainability targets, which is a priority for us over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new generation Airbus A320neo aircraft is much more sustainable in terms of fuel burn and CO2 emissions and this is not only important to Aer Lingus but also our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
