FARNBOROUGH 2010: GECAS orders 60 A320 family aircraft
July 19, 2010GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) has placed a firm order with Airbus for 60 additional A320 family aircraft, bringing the total number of A320 family aircraft ordered by GECAS to 327 and the backlog of aircraft to be delivered to 99.
“We’re pleased to announce the growth of our A320 fleet with this new order,” commented Norman Liu, president and CEO of GECAS. “We have a solid track record of placing A320s with our customer base across the world.”
GECAS customers will be able to select the Sharklet option for aircraft to be delivered from the end of 2012. Sharklets have been developed to enhance the eco-efficiency and payload-range performance of the A320 family resulting in at least 3.5% reduced fuel burn over longer sectors.
The aircraft will all be powered by CFM56 engines.
