Jet2 Orders 36 New Airbus A321 Aircraft

By Jaime Llinares Taboada

Jet2 PLC said Tuesday that it has agreed to purchase 36 new Airbus A321 neo aircraft.

The airline said the deal includes flexibility to extend the order up to 60 aircraft.

The firm orders stretch over five years until 2028, and at current prices represent a total value of around $4.9 billion. Jet2 said it has negotiated significant discounts from the list price.

"We are delighted to have placed this order with Airbus and are proud to operate this aircraft which has more seats, provides additional operating benefits through lower fuel consumption and is, in our opinion, the most efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft in its class today," Executive Chairman Philip Meeson said.
