Airbus reports January orders and deliveries

Airbus logged net orders in January for 274 commercial aircraft from its A220, A320 and A350 XWB product lines in activity that included two new customers for the A220, additional market traction for the A320/A321 as reference products in the single-aisle segment, and further endorsements for the A350 XWB with repeat orders from two customers. During the month, 31 deliveries were made from the A220, A320, A330 and A350 XWB aircraft families.

The single-aisle new business was led by the purchase finalisation by Spirit Airlines for 100 A320neo Family aircraft, involving 47 A319neo, 33 A320neo and 20 A321neo versions and U.S.-based Air Lease Corporation’s 102-aircraft order for 50 A220-300s, 25 A321neo versions and 27 A321XLRs (becoming a new customer for this extra long-range version). 

Another single-aisle transaction in January was the order from Philippine low-cost airline Cebu Pacific for five A320neo aircraft and 10 A321XLRs, also making it a new customer for the extra long-range version. Completing the month’s new single-aisle business was Air Senegal’s order for eight A220-300s.
