Tigerair Taiwan takes delivery of first A320neo

Taiwanese low-cost carrier Tigerair Taiwan has received the first of 15 Airbus A320neos. The first aircraft, registered B-50021, is powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G geared turbofans, and configured to seat 180 passengers. Tigerair Taiwan, which is wholly-owned by flag carrier China Airlines, says the A320neo fleet also features a refreshed interior, with inflight streaming capabilities and mood lighting among the new features. However, the airline did not state which route the first A320neo will be operating on. Airbus says the jet is the first A320neo to be introduced in Taiwan, adding that it “will be the optimal platform for Tigerair Taiwan to increase capacity and open new routes across the Asia region”.<br/>
