Germania to replace 737 fleet with A320neos
Germania is preparing its most comprehensive fleet renewal program beginning in 2020. The carrier has said it will begin replacing 10 Boeing 737-700s with Airbus A320 family aircraft within the next 15 months. The first 3 737s will leave the fleet by the end of April; the last 737 should leave by the start of the summer season 2019. In July 2016, Germania ordered 25 180-seat Airbus A320neos, with 15 options, in a deal valued at US$2.7b. The carrier selected Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower Geared Turbofan engines to power the A320neos. Together with Airbus and other flight schools, Germania has organised an in-house program for all Boeing pilots to retrain on Airbus aircraft and acquire the necessary type rating. <br/>
