Transavia France takes delivery of its first Airbus A320neo jet

Transavia France, part of the Air France-KLM Group, has taken delivery of its first A320neo aircraft from Airbus manufacturing site in Toulouse. The plane is on lease to the low-cost carrier from Avolon.

The delivery flight to Paris-Orly used a sustainable aviation fuel blend, Airbus said in a company press release.

The new aircraft features 186 seats in a single-class layout. Selected for its outstanding operational efficiency, reduced emissions, and comfort, the A320neo will be deployed by Transavia France on its services on its domestic network as well as across its European and Mediterranean markets.

The introduction of its first A320neo aircraft marks the beginning of Transavia France' transition to become an all-Airbus operator, powered by efficient A320neo Family aircraft.

By incorporating new generation CFM International LEAP-1A engines and Sharklets, the A320neo brings a 50% noise footprint reduction and 20% fuel savings and CO2 reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft.

The cabin features Airbus’ Airspace XL bins. The larger bins provide 40% more stowage space compared to conventional bins. In addition, USB-C ports are available for passengers at each seat.

The Airbus A320neo Family has won nearly 9,800 orders from nearly 140 customers in all markets.
