A brand new 180-seater Airbus A320neo joined Air Malta’s fleet last week. The new aircraft has aptly been registered on the Maltese aircraft register as 9H-NEO.
Air Malta’s Chairman Dr Charles Mangion said, “Thanks to its new state of the art aerodynamics and new generation engines the NEO offers unbeatable efficiency and environmental performance. On a Malta-London Heathrow flight, the airline will save up to 1.3 tons of fuel per trip, 6,200 tons of CO2 per year and a 24% reduction of CO2 emission per seat. Designed with the latest cabin features offering more cabin space and comfort, the aircraft also produces a 50% less noise footprint than the A320ceo. The new aircraft will offer Air Malta guests added comfort and an enhanced customer experience.”
