The first A320NEO in Russia! New aircraft for S7. Airbus A320NEO flight parameters model A320NEO

Apparently, it is.
Judging by the last events, the airline from Siberia sets itself very and very ambitious goals aimed, first of all, in the direction of the comfort of passengers and in the direction of cost reduction.
And it's not about reducing the list of services, but about ... the newest models of aircraft.
Surprisingly, one of the most technologically advanced aircraft - Airbus A320NEO - the first appeared in the park of S7 Airlines, another 3 more only until the end of this year, and for the next few years the airline has delivered the task to update the entire A320 Park before this model.

On Friday, I visited Toulouse, at the Airbus factory, where these aircraft produce, just at the ceremony of transferring the first side of the airline S7. It was here that one of the first I managed to get on board a handsome A320neo, see what is new and innovative for passengers, as well as to communicate with the leadership of the airline and Airbus regarding future cooperation plans.
Below about everything in detail, including an overview of the new aircraft.

2. To be honest, I have never been present at the aircraft transfer ceremony in the hands of the airline and wondered how it happens.
In fact, this is not a car that you buy in a car dealership where other buyers are also located at the same time, which managers draw up documents or simply demonstrate one or another model. Airplanes buy quite differently. And quite differently handed the "keys" from the steering wheel. Especially when it is some kind of new product for the airline and the manufacturer.
The plane is not so much like a car: no one sells ready airliners from the warehouse here. Supply contract is signed in advance, and it includes, as a rule, is not one plane, but a particular party. The customer then determines the layout and many additional nuances and only after that the plant starts assembling the aircraft directly under the customer. Then the tests, acceptance (sometimes long and picky), and after the transfer ceremony ... between the moment of signing the contract and the moment of transferring the first side there is a lot of time, sometimes even a few years!

3. S7 Airlines Airlines is not a new Airbus partner, they have been cooperating for over 13 years. And if earlier this cooperation was carried out within the framework of classical models, then on Friday there was a sign event for S7 - the transfer of the newest Airbus A320NEO. And this is the first A320 new generation aircraft in Russia!
It is for this reason that managers not managers, and faces from the top leadership of both companies: "Transmitted" Airbus Vice-President on Eastern Europe and Central Asia Andreas Kramer, and "accepted" Chairman of the Board of Directors S7 Vladislav Filev

4. Long to tighten the ceremony and after 10 official minutes in the hall with giant panoramic windows, the curtains and all the present appended by the freshly paint AIRBUS A320NEO in the new Livreye S7 Airlines

5. It should be said that the solemn aircraft transfer hall in the Airbus Delivery Center is something that resembles an amphitheater, allowing guests and journalists from different sides to admire new aircraft - you want in the FAS, you want to in the profile. Who does not want to the street - through panoramic windows, who is not afraid of watershed weather - balcony or peerron.
By the way, pay attention to the back background there are several more shanks in the liveries of various airlines: these are aircraft that will be transmitted to customers in the coming days /

6. Let's now detail about the novelty, because this is the most important thing!
A320NEO is the heir of the most successful AIRBUS - A320 Airlines. The NEO program was launched in 2010, based on the deep remodization of the 320 family (New Engine Option), the main task of which is to seriously increase the cost-effectiveness and ergonomics of aircraft. Technically A320NEO is 95% unified with A320, and the main changes relate to engines, aerodynamics and comfort for passengers. That is, the A320 pilots do not need to be retracted to a new type of aircraft. For the airline, these airliners are becoming very beneficial from an economic point of view, and for passengers - in terms of comfort (about it below)

7. Let's start with passengers!
The first and most importantly, the A320 family salon today is the widest among narrow-body aircraft: it is 18 centimeters wider than that of a direct competitor - Boeing 737 and 737max, which allows you to install or broader armchairs, or make a wider passage between the rows.
In the A320NEO cabin for S7 the width of the passage is standard, and the six leather chairs installed in a series of 3 + 3 have a width of 18 inches (each 1 inch wider than in Boeing).
The shape of the inner cover of the cabin has changed, which gives more space for the shoulder passengers at the porthole.

8. The step between the seats remained the same as in the standard A320 S7 airline, - 71 cm.

9. Places for the legs are quite enough and the man of medium height does not rest on his knees in a chair in front of them

10. Another significant innovation of A320NEO compared with the classic model is increased luggage shelves. Now the standard 10 kilogram suitcases are placed here not only lying "on the back", but also on the "side", which allows you to put in each section on 1 suitcase more. For increasing popularity of the system of reluard tariffs and trips with one hand-made predder, this is an unconditional plus.

12. For its A320NEO S7, I ordered a layout of 156 + 8, i.e. 156 economy-class places and 8 business class places.
Business here is full, 2 + 2, with comfortable wide leather chairs, and not like many European companies with standard economy-class chairs with a blocked average.

13. The chairs in the business class is regulated only the tilt of the back, the lower pillow does not move, the foot stand is not provided.
But there are USB ports on each armrest and a full-fledged outlet

14. Sasha alexcheban. In his usual hypostasis - in the chair of the business class.
Completely relaxed, does not fly by economy)

15. Let's see what is offered for econom passengers. Surprise, but ... for them, chips are more than in business)
The most important is a special holder for smartphones and tablets that appeared.
She was hidden behind the campaign table and activated very simply: you need to drop a table, raise a trapezoid plastic stand and then insert a gadget into one of the three slots and fix the dynamic rubber retainer from above.
Now watch movies in the airplane cabin are conveniently and no need to invent, as I recently did for nemihail.

16. It happened! Now and the Russian directions will appear aircraft, more comfortable for people.
As in the business class, the economy for each passenger provides a full-fledged socket and a USB connector for charging gadgets.
They are located more convenient than in the old series, at the bottom of the chair in front of you, and not under yours (which led to the fact that many did not even know that they have a socket under the chair)

17. Separately, it is worth saying about the personal panel of the passenger under the ceiling.
Airbus upgraded them and these modules have become more convenient to manage and operate. New LED reading lamps are more economical, as well as more durable during operation. In addition, this light is easier to perceive with a human eye.

18. Kitchen and workspace of flight attendants

19. Toilet room.
By the way, Airbus engineers have developed a special catalytic neutralizer of unpleasant odors for toilets and for the cabin, which guarantees air freshness. In addition, the air conditioning system allows you to fully replace air every 2 minutes and ensures uniform distribution of air inside the cabin.

20. Now let's look at the plane from the outside, because it is here that the main difference between the A320NEO model from the classical A320 lies. Discern these two aircraft easily: by engine gondolas. A320NEO engines visually just huge!
And it is in the engines, as well as the end of the wing, it lies the main secret of almost 20% of the decline in fuel consumption at the new airliner!
A320NEO aircraft are offered with two types of high-economical engines to choose from: Pratt & Whitney's Pure Power PW1100G-JM (it is this engine that aircraft are equipped for S7) or CFM International's LEAP-1A.

21. The second feature of this type is Sharklets wing end. Airbus began to establish them on airplanes A319, A320 and A321 since the end of 2012, and for the A320NEO family, they are standard, besides made of composite materials.
Sharkenets improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft and reduce resistance by reducing the "flow breakdown", due to which the fuel consumption is reduced by 4% on long routes, which is equivalent to a decrease in CO2 emissions by 1000 tons per year.
In terms of fuel, scarkets increase the range of about 185 km or the commercial load of 450 kg.
By the way, the height of the scarlet 2.4 meters!

22. Currently, the final assembly of aircraft of the A320 family is carried out on four sites: in Toulouse (France), Hamburg (Germany), Tianjin (China) and Mobile (USA). A320NEO make only in Toulouse, where the A350 and A380 are also produced (in the photo)

23. When everything is pleasing to the plane, it appeared some time for a photo shoot against the plane background

26. The first crew of A320NEO flight attendants for its first flight to Russia is SBI9988.
And the pilot on this day was the flight director of S7 Mansur Budrakov (in photo №6)

27. Here is such a farewell from the Airbus plant to the first flight of the new aircraft ...

28. July 21, 14.00, the aircraft starts the engines, and the pilots say goodbye to them by journalists, leadership S7 and representatives of Airbus

29. All gathered on the balcony

30. Brake shoes are removed, tractor rolls out a plane on the handle

31. The dispatcher gives permission to tax

32. By the way, pay attention to the green fuselage in the long part of the frame, this is the next A320NEO for S7, which will be transmitted very soon

33. At the moment when we remove the aircraft taxi from the flight field, Marina fotografersha. Made this snapshot from the take-off A320 Lufthansa on the way to Munich.

34. Column! Three with a small hour, a new plane landed at Domodedovo airport, where it was customs clearance and the next day he became on the line Moscow-Novosibirsk

35. If you want one of the first to feel the smell and comfort of a new aircraft, look for it on flights to Novosibirsk.
This is noting that the A320NEO flies on one or another flight, representatives of S7 promise to put in the near future

36. From myself I want to wish the airline the speedy implementation of ambitious plans for updating the airfield. We, passengers, from this will only be better

In 2010, the European Airbus aircraft construction concern announced the start of design work on A320NEO. This narrow-body jet jet was the result of the deep processing of the basic version of A320.

At the presentation A320NEO in 2011 in Paris, Airbus concluded deals, the total value of which exceeded sixty billion dollars.

In 2014, the first copy was filled into the sky of France. After two years later, the German carrier Lufthansa received this novelty for use. The cost of liner is up to 110 million dollars.

The A320NEO family also includes A319NEO (shortened) and A321NEO (extended).

Airbus A320NEO is an improved model with a fundamentally new category of engines. Installation on the plane of large (more than 2 meters in diameter) LEAP-1A or PW1100G motors promotes the following changes:

decreased Cases of Kerosene by 15 - 17%
reduced operating costs for 8 - 10%
reforming of harmful emissions into the natural atmosphere by more than 10%
lowering noise level
increased range of 960 kilometers
increased lifting capacity for 2000 kilograms

The glider itself was also upgraded: "Sharkers" (shark fins) are installed on the tip of the wings, the air conditioning system has been recycled, they made more baggage compartment.

According to manufacturers, thanks to the latest engines and unique clamps of wings (2.4 meters), maintenance and operation costs will decrease by almost a quarter, compared with the basic model. Among the machines of their class Airbus A320NEO has the lowest level of noise.

Externally, A320NEO almost completely repeats the appearance of the A320 model. The difference was the widespread use of composites (reinforced with fiberglass and carbon fiber plastic) and aluminum alloys. It made the design more durable, light and ergonomic.

The aircraft has a modern equipment of the cockpit of pilots. The company "Thomson - CSF" has delivered a unique software package. "Intelligent Stuffing" displays data on LCD monitors, warns about freelance situations. All equipment is certified and complies with the requirements of the ARINC 700 standard.

Changes in the interior of the cabin

Improvements touched and passenger cabin. The backlight is made using topical LEDs. Interior decoration will satisfy the most demanding taste.

The distance between the rows has increased, creating more space for the passenger. Stands for gadgets (tablets, smartphones, laptops), sockets and USB are connected - connectors: two pieces for three armchairs of the row. These changes affected both a business class and an economic salon. Press, booklets are placed in pockets at the top of the chair. There were much more kitchen zones, which is favorable for flight attendants.

A distinctive feature and the advantage of a new liner was the lack of toilets directly behind the last row. Now the two bathrooms are equipped in the tail of the aircraft.

Overview of places (scheme)

In the Airbus A320NEO salon, the first two rows (8 seats) are allocated under the business class. Location - two chairs in two rows.

In the economy class, 156 people can fit. A single-pass system arrangement 3/3. Compared to A320, places have become more than six.

The best rows - 3 (there are no armies ahead), 10, 11 (space for emergency exits). At the twenty-eighth row of the back of the chairs are not able to fold.

Flight parameters model A320NEO:

Wing scope - 35.8 meters
Machine length - 37.57 meters
Airplane height - 11.76 meters
Weight takeoff - 73900 kilograms
Type of Motors (2 pieces) - Leap-1A

Load useful (passenger capacity) - 189 people in economy class or up to 150 people in a two-year layout.

Latest news:

In 2017, S7 Airlines (the brand of the Russian air carrier "Siberia") acquired the first A320NEO. All planned to buy 16 copies. The car is painted in traditional, brightly green company. Passengers have already managed to assess the proposed level of comfort. It is noted that in the future the basis of the S7 Park will be these airbuses. In the spring of 2018, S7 Airlines will begin a direct message between Moscow and the Spanish resort island of Tenerife. Twice a week, departures from Domodedovo Airport will be performed.

Russian Holding "Engineering" upgraded painting hangar, it is here that the liners for the S7 fleet are made here. On the basis of the Aviation Training Center S7 "Engineering" there is training of technical specialists who can serve A320NEO aerobus. Contractual relations are concluded for the performance of heavy repair on the venues of this technical holding.

Airbus Aviation Conglomerate at its factory in China plans a monthly number of A320 machines to bring up to five copies. At the beginning of 2020, this figure will increase to six. The corresponding two-sided agreement has already been signed.

Prospects and competition in the sky

Airbus plans to produce more than 4,700 copies of their A320 plane to commercial customers in the next fifteen years. Back in 2011, she concluded an unprecedented contract with the Malaysian carrier of Airasia for the supply of two hundred cars.

The world's demand for the conquest of regional distances in the world laid the beginning of the new developments of the leading aircraft manufacturers of the world. Many commercial carriers begin to refuse wide-body airliners. Dumptive liners with a narrow fuselage obtained the greatest popularity. There is a widespread replacement of heavy high-budget machines to more economical models.

The main A320NEO competitors were the latest airliners for small and medium-sized Boeing 737MAX, Bombardier CSeries, Comac C919 and MC - 21. All models are extremely promising and comfortable.

The airbus aircraft manufacturer has a huge number of orders for the supply of A320NEO, as well as other aircraft of the family: A319, A320 and A321.

Analyzing the first years of operation of this machine and the rate of receipt of applications, it is possible to name the liner by the leader of the continental transport.

Literally recently, only two years ago, and me Marina fotografersha. The first takeoff A320neo was welcomed in Toulouse (I wrote more about this), and in January 2016 the first aircraft was transferred to the first operator - Lufthansa airline. Until the summer, the A320NEO aircraft of the German carriage flew almost all the time only on domestic flights, now they are already flying in Europe. What do we know about a new plane, what is interesting to know the attentive passenger? Fuel economy up to 15% Thanks to the use of new engines and scarletters, reduction of CO and NO emissions - all this is important to business and environmentalists, but we will be important to us salon, noise level and comfort!

But let's start with the appearance. However, external changes will not only notice aviation enthusiasts ... A320NEO differs from the aircraft of the previous A320 family simply with huge engines ... they cannot be noticed even from afar ...

How to find out?

Here we are Marina fotografersha. In September 2014 we meet A320NEO after the first flight. Check out a detailed report if you missed.

But he is waiting for me from a teletera on the usual regular flight Frankfurt Berlin:

PRATT & WHITNEY PW1100G engines are really very big visually!

D-AINB is the second A320NEO, which is supplied by the German Nazi.

I immediately go to the FlightRadar24 app, I study the list of flights where the plane flew to the previous 2-3 days, as well as the age of the aircraft and its history. You always always do before flying, right?!

Salon

Salon at Lufthansa is standard on a narrow-sighted fleet, nothing unusual. Thin and lightweight ergonomic recaro chairs, an excellent step nearby and the foot space is everywhere enough for a comfortable flight for several hours.

Unfortunately, Airbus on became in Generation A320NEO to introduce a new interior concept and, in particular, redo the configuration of the luggage shelves. I really like how it is implemented by Boeing in Sky Interior. Luggage shelves in new Boeing-737 closes upstairs increasing space in the cabin is very noticeable.

I note that in the spring of 2016, Airbus introduced the new interior concept of "Airspace by Airbus", here there are all those innovations that make a trip much more comfortable, regardless of the service class in which you fly.

There are no excellent in A320NEO, the luggage shelves are also opening down. They are the same spacious.

New engines

The most discussed in the aviation environment is a very important technical nuance in the work of the new PRATT & Whitney PW1100G engines. Before starting the current modification of engines, a relatively long period is needed for initiating work - up to 6-10 minutes. This is a very considerable time for airlines, because every minute is important, the plane should not stand on Earth.

However, the A320NEO also is supplied by the engine of another manufacturer - CFM International LEAP-1A, which has been certified in the summer and already since July A320NEO is supplied to new customers with CFM engines. There is no such Nyns in the work here, there are no delays, which is critical for budget carriers.

I knew about this nuance of work, tried to fix the moment of delay between the back towing from the teleterapa with the help of a tractor before the start of taxi, the delay really amounted to about 10 minutes. After landing, I also asked this question to pilots.

Filty! :)

Time to have lunch!
I love Lufthansa here for such little things even on time flights:

Noise level in the cabin

Feels like quieter, but quite a little bit.
The flight was filled at about 70%, so I moved across the salon, trying to feel the difference. Advertising talks about reducing the noise profile level up to 50%, but obviously it is some kind of marketing value, in real life the noise level is slightly lower. For example in A380 or A350, as well as in the drimyiner, the noise level is significantly lower than in previous generations of wide-body liners.

However, I downloaded the application to determine the level of noise for iOS! Thanks for advice to you, Victor khmelikvictor ! Of course, these are toys, but you can get a number, but do you trust it?

My flight was April 17 on Sunday, and literally the next day - on April 18, I flew somewhere on the A320 and also with Lufthansa. Therefore, the comparison was immediately. The application allows you to measure some time the noise level by the built-in microphone, then you can fix the result with a screenshot with a photo.

Left - A320NEO
First - A320

1. During the take-off, the most noisy moment in the cabin at the window in about 5-8 row on the right.

Left - A320NEO
First - A320

2. At an altitude of 10 thousand meters, standing in the passage.

Left - A320NEO
First - A320

In both cases, I even had a little more noisy, the conclusion is to trust this program. All these are only toys from the App Stora.

Raisin - New Toilet

And here everyone will notice the difference!
This is the tail of the aircraft. Now the toilets are not left and right, passengers in the last row sit just more comfortably.

Thanks to the changed configuration of the salon, both toilets are placed in the back, they can also be configured to one large for passengers with special needs. This is, in my opinion, a very serious customer-oriented step of the aircraft producer.

Schemes Lighting Salon

There are no special lighting schemes in Lufthansa in A320, with the exception of one small, but very pleasant moment - this is a yellow LED tape in the deepening of the handles of the luggage shelves. In the evening, when the lighting is muffled, it looks great. No one else in the A320 / A321 did not see this, with the exception of A321 Transaero, who, unfortunately, had already passed into the past.

But this is not an innovation A320NEO, such lighting is in all A320 / A321 aircraft of the German airline.

Cockpit

After landing in Tega, I can't help but ask permission to take a picture of the cockpit of pilots. I was allowed, even despite the very short time before a revolving flight.

View from above

At Berlin-Tegel Airport there is a wonderful observation deck on the roof of the main terminal, of course, having received a luggage, I went there. There was a wonderful weather, but I had only 50mm lens, and with him Spotting so-so. How many times I was convinced, once you won't take a TV or shirits, and he will be absolutely indispensable.

With big engines A320NEO take pictures and make selfie all!

Already now (as of September 1, 2016), Airbus has an A320NEO family aircraft in the order portfolio (A319, A320, A321). Since the beginning of the year, 18 aircraft have already been delivered to customers. This is the fastest reference plane in the world. And Market Share in this segment compared to Boeing-737MAX is 60/40 at the moment. So definitely is a plane that we will soon fly with you.

In July, Airbus put the first A320NEO with Motors CFM LEAP Turkish Loauser carrier Pegasus:

And in September A320NEO received Airasia.

On September 26, 2016, the A321NEO test aircraft arrived in Budapest, which is now a certification program. Wizzair's Hungarian carrier in 2019 will receive the first of 110 Airbus A321NEO aircraft ordered at Paris Airshow in 2015. The supply of A321NEO will continue until the end of 2024.

The future has come

Very soon the first A320NEO will be transferred to the first airline in the CIS - Airastana. So look carefully during the next flight, we already live with you in tomorrow, maybe at some point we fly to A320NEO?!

On the one hand, this aircraft from the point of view of the passenger is practically no different from the previous generation being an evolutionary continuation. There are no things here that wow-effect. However, thanks to invisible technical innovations, the plane becomes more economical and efficient to use, reducing ultimately the cost of the ticket for us with you and increasing the degree of reliability and safety. And this is the future!

My plane flies back to Frankfurt, I remove it to half a penny from the observation deck. By the way, in the background of Eirs Bas A340 Angels Merkel.

Travel more often!
Fly with a smile :)

I shall with emotions of your travels online on

Airbus A320NEO is one of the latest airliners of modernity. It is an enhanced copy of the predecessor of the same name. They are distinguished by Neo's prefix in the title, which means New Engine Option - "New Improved Engine".

A320NEO is a narrow-body aircraft. In it, you can fit more chairs or increase the width of the passage. Eyrolbas has a whole family of similar liners that are in great demand among airlines.

Salon scheme

As it usually happens, the schemes of salons in airplanes involving the presence of economy and business class vary. At different airlines, they may differ significantly among themselves, so it is best to consider the standard that the airbus manufacturer offers.

Space Salon A320NEO. For a better display, click on the picture.

Compared to the predecessor "Aerobus A320", the Salon of the new liner was significantly improved. It has an improved filtering system that prevents the appearance of unpleasant odors. The air in the cabin is completely updated every 2 minutes. Modern energy-saving diodes are used for lighting.

Business Class

In the standard configuration, the airliner has 164 passenger chairs, 8 of which are located in the business class. All paired armchairs, leather and soft. Each is equipped with a tilt of the back, but it does not provide a footrest and folding the pillow for the head. On each armrest there is a port for connecting devices via USB and even a full-fledged outlet.

Economy class

Compared to the previous version of the aircraft, the NEO model has significantly updated the economy class. There are even more different innovations than in the business class. Separately, it is worth highlighting a stand for tablets and smartphones, which is extended from the back in front of the standing chairs and is fixed with a rubber fixer from above. Thanks to this innovation, passengers can look at their gadget film, which will allow flying the flight much faster.

Also, the outlets and USB ports were added here, like a business class, but with a little difference: they are located on the back of the previous armchair. It is very convenient, because in the old airbus A320 the socket was under the seat. Because of this, many passengers did not even know what they could take advantage of.

Updated personal control panels for passengers located on the ceiling. Now the light for reading is more convenient to human eye and it is easier to get used to it than it was before. Lamps installed in lamps can serve much longer and use energy-saving technology.

Best places

As for convenient places in the aircraft of this model, then the seats in the 6th row (1st in economy) will be more or less acceptable. There is a partition between the economy and the business class, therefore the likelihood that someone will hit you the back of your seating, is reduced to zero. Also, this series is the first to receive food when the stewardess begins to spread it through the cabin.

And now about the negative points of these places. First, even despite the fact that you have a sufficient knee place, stretch your feet for full length will not get again due to the partition. Also, there are also several seats in the 10th row located in the middle and near the passage.

The most terrible are places in 24 and 25 row. This is especially true. The backs of the chairs will not lean away from behind the stand behind the wall, and most passengers are close proximity to the toilet delivers significant discomfort.

Other modifications of NEO aircraft

A320 is not the only improved model. The manufacturer has improved almost the entire family of aircraft:

Airbus A319NEO. The airliner used to transport a small passenger traffic to long distances. On average, 150 passengers are fed aboard, and the flight distance is 7500 km;
Airbus A321NEO. The aircraft is equipped with the longest fuselage in the entire family. On board can accommodate 220 people. The maximum range of flight is 6800 km;
A330NEO. The newest model, which is only being developed, but already several airlines from different countries issued pre-ordered on it. Designed for 287 seats. It has a wide fuselage. Main Competitor - Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Supply of aircraft on orders made from the beginning of 2018.

Characteristics

As previously noted earlier, the AIBUS A320 NEO is equipped with new modern engines, which have a reduced fuel consumption and reduced emissions into the atmosphere of harmful substances. An indicator is 50% lower than the permissible international standards, which cannot but rejoice.

Capacity, sizes, weight

The aircraft has the following data:

Length - 37.6 m;
Height - 11.8 m;
Wing Square - 122.4 sq.m;
Scope - 35.8 m;
Maximum take-off weight - 73.5-78 thousand kg;
Maximum weight without fuel - 62.8-64.3 thousand kg;
Maximum boarding weight - 64.5-66 thousand kg;
Capacity of fuel tanks - 23.7-26.5 thousand l;
The number of chairs - 180;
The number of chairs (economy and business class) - 150;
Length of the cabin - 27.5 m;
Salon width - 3.7 m.

Fewer characteristics:

Maximum load flight distance - 6850 m;
Maximum speed - 890 km / h;
Maximum cruising speed - 830 km / h;
The maximum flight height is 12 thousand m;
Engines: CFMI LEAP-1A, PW1100G-JM.

History of creation

On December 1, 2010, the airbus manufacturer made an official statement that work began on creating an upgraded A320NEO aircraft. 4 years later, on July 1, the first turning out of the aircraft

When designing, it was thought that the "Airbus" would significantly overtake its main competitor Boeing with its line of narrow-body aircraft Boeing 737MAX. Composite materials and various aluminum alloys were used in the design, which made it possible to maintain consumption and weight of fuel, as the predecessor A320.

The first flight of the airliner with advanced engines was also held in 2014, September 25 from Toulouse Airport (France) "Blagnac". Here is one of the Airbus plants and the test base for inspection of airliners. The very first Airbus A320NEO was purchased and received for the use of Lufthansa's famous German airline. The event occurred on January 21, 2016.

Where to produce

Airbus S.A.S. factory is engaged in the production of the aircraft, located in Toulouse. The activities of the enterprise is dispersed immediately into several countries: Germany, Spain, United Kingdom and France. President Eyrbas Fabris Berzhieri is held by 2012. Headquarters and legal address are also in Toulouse.

Most of the needs in the titanium company Airbus provide Russian manufacturers. From 2016 after the conclusion of the relevant contract, the company is engaged in the territory of our country by assembling Helicopters H135 helicopters.

News, prospects, interesting facts
