AEGEAN grows its fleet by placing a firm order for 8 additional Airbus A321 neo aircraft

AEGEAN has announced the order of 8 additional A321neo aircraft, thus further expanding for the third time its original agreement with Airbus for A320 / A321neo family aircraft, initially signed in 2018, with the first deliveries starting in 2020.

It is worth noting that out of the 58 Airbus A320 / A321neo aircraft, 37 will be the larger version of the A321neo family. Among them, four (4) will be Airbus A321neo LR (Long Range), offering significantly extended range and a newly designed passenger cabin, specifically configured to serve flights to new markets of up to 7.5 hours.

To date, 34 Airbus A320 / A321neo family aircraft have already been delivered while 24 more aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in the coming years, including the new order. In 2025, AEGEAN has already taken delivery of one (1) A320neo aircraft and is planning to take delivery of four (4) more new aircraft of the A320 / A321 neo family.

Dimitris Gerogiannis, AEGEAN’s CEO, commented: "The expansion of our investment plan with the additional order of 8 new Airbus A321neo aircraft is essential for achieving our growth objectives and further enhancing the competitiveness of our operations. It is also clear that we have a strong preference for the larger-capacity and extended-range version of the A321neo type, which will soon represent two-thirds of our Airbus fleet. We thank Airbus for their outstanding partnership, and we once again promise our passengers that we will make the best possible use of our new aircraft, bringing all the creativity and dedication of our team to deliver new services, new destinations, and even better travel experiences."

Benoit de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft Business, said, "We are delighted that AEGEAN, the largest Greek airline, has once again chosen the fuel-efficient A321neo. This decision underscores AEGEAN's commitment to operational excellence and enhancing the passenger experience. We value our collaboration with AEGEAN and look forward to continuing our partnership, supporting their growth plans within Europe and beyond.”
