Toulouse, France – Japan’s Peach Aviation has signed a firm order with Airbus for the purchase of 10 A320neo and three A320ceo. The order was announced at a signing ceremony in Tokyo attended by Shinichi Inoue, managing director and CEO, Peach Aviation, and Fabrice Brégier, Airbus president and CEO.
The newly-ordered aircraft will join an existing A320 family fleet at Peach currently comprising 18 A320ceo and another two on order. With the addition of the A320neo, the airline will become the first low cost carrier (LCC) in Japan to operate the latest member of the A320 family.
“Our A320 fleet is growing as our route network expands, not only in the domestic market but also to various Asian cities,” said Shinichi Inoue. “By introducing the A320neo to our fleet we will enhance even further our profitability while continuing to offer our passengers greater comfort with 18" wide seats.” We believe that the A320neo will strengthen our position in the competitive Japanese aviation market.”
“We are pleased that Peach Aviation has placed this additional order for the A320 family,” said Brégier.
To date, the single-aisle A320 family has won about 12,800 orders and more than 7,250 aircraft have been delivered to some 400 customers and operators worldwide.
The A320neo family (A318, A319, A320, and A321), incorporating engine and aerodynamic enhancements, has received about 4,800 orders since its launch in 2010 from 88 customers, including Peach Aviation.
