EasyJet says could replace more Airbus A320neo's with bigger plane
EasyJet could look at buying more Airbus A321neo aircraft instead of smaller A320neos, the carrier's CE said Wednesday, as the firm tries to reduce costs and increase capacity on busy European routes. EasyJet announced last month that it had arranged to convert part of an Airbus order to larger planes to cut costs per seat, and was also postponing some orders of smaller planes as it reported a bigger-than-expected half year loss. The airline took delivery of its first A320neo jet Wednesday, its 300th plane, with new, more fuel efficient engines. EasyJet has already switched 30 of its 130 A320neo orders for larger A321neo's, which seat an additional 49 passengers and are set to bring the cost per seat down by 8-9% compared with the smaller plane. <br/>
