Toulouse, France – ANA Holdings has ordered seven more Airbus A321 aircraft (four A321ceo with Sharklets and three A321neo), in addition to the firm order for 30 A320neo family (seven A320neo and 23 A321neo) placed in July 2014.
The latest agreement brings ANA’s total order for the A320 family to 37 aircraft which will gradually replace its existing single aisle fleet. ANA will be the first Japanese operator of both Sharklet-equipped A321ceo and A321neo.
“We are extremely pleased that such a prestigious airline as Japan’s ANA, has placed repeat orders for our A320 family aircraft. By selecting our single-aisle aircraft, ANA is investing in the best in class, securing excellent cabin comfort as well as operational efficiency for its future,” said John Leahy, Airbus chief operating officer Customers.
ANA became an Airbus customer in 1987, when it ordered 10 A320s. In 1995, ANA also selected the larger A321, with a total of seven orders.
The A320 family has more than 11,500 orders to date and nearly 6,400 aircraft delivered to 400 customers and operators worldwide.
