Airbus is to conduct the maiden flight of its re-engined A320neo jet on 25 September.

The test aircraft, fitted with Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engines, will depart from Toulouse at 10:30

Airbus chief operating officer for customers John Leahy confirmed the plan at the ISTAT conference in Istanbul, adding that the flight was subject to good weather conditions.
