JetBlue orders 30 more Airbus A321s
JetBlue Airways has placed a follow-on order for 15 Airbus A321ceos and 15 A321neos. JetBlue, which already operates A321s, will have the option to switch the A321neos to the longer-range A321LR variant from 2019. “We intend to deploy many of these aircraft to expand our successful Mint experience and our West Coast presence,” JetBlue president and CE Robin Hayes said. Airbus will deliver the first of the 15 additional A321ceos in 2017, kicking off the 7-year delivery term, with the first A321neos from the order scheduled to arrive in 2020. Mint will take the majority of the extra aircraft, including 5 A321ceos in 2017. JetBlue has flexibility to take the deliveries in Mint or all-core configurations. “We have only scratched the surface on what Mint can do to disrupt the valuable coast-to-coast market,” Hayes said. <br/>
