“Jet2.com will be proud to operate the Airbus A321neo in the years ahead. This aircraft is, in our opinion, the most efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft in its class today – it will give our holiday customers a wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable experience as they travel with us for their well deserved Jet2holiday”, said Philip Meeson, Jet2.com Executive Chairman.
“We very much welcome Jet2.com’s decision. Traditionally having been operating non fly-by-wire aircraft, we note with great satisfaction that after having tested a couple of leased A321s and run a comprehensive evaluation, Jet2.com is forward looking and investing in modern and future proof Airbus fly-by-wire technology,” said Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International.
At the end of July 2021, the A320neo Family had won over 7,400 firm orders from over 120 customers worldwide.
