Brussels Airlines took delivery of its first Airbus A320neo on Wednesday, starting a new chapter in its history as this is the first time the airline has taken delivery of aircraft directly from the manufacturer.
This 180-passenger aircraft is the first of five Airbus A320neo aircraft to join the Brussels Airlines fleet, which will replace the A319s.

“For us it is crucial to modernize our fleet in order to reduce our carbon footprint. The A320neo significantly reduces both noise and CO2 footprint compared to the current A320 generation. We are delighted to take delivery of the first new aircraft directly from Airbus in Toulouse, to be followed by 4 more by the end of next year. It is a milestone in our history, so today is truly a proud moment,” said Dorothea von Boxberg, CEO of Brussels Airlines.
