IAG firms A320neo-options into orders

On 30 June 2022, the International Airline Group has issued a statement to the London Stock Exchange in which it announces it has decided to firm options on fourteen A320neo-family aircraft into orders for eleven A320neos and three A321neos. The aircraft have not been assigned to the specific airlines in the Group yet and will be used to replace older A320-family aircraft. Deliveries are scheduled for 2024 and 2025.

With this latest order, IAG now has 33 A320neos and 32 A321neos on order, which breaks down as:

British Airways: 3 A320neos and 3 A321neos
Iberia: 5 A320neos and 15 A321neos
Vueling: 8 A320neos and 9 A321neos
IAG (unassigned): 17 A320neos and 5 A321neos

Next to these orders, IAG also has narrowbody aircraft orders with Boeing for 25 B737-8200s and 25 B737-10s (with options on 100 more), which were announced last month.
