US-based aircraft leasing company Aviation Capital Group (ACG) has signed a firm order with Airbus for 75 A320neo Family aircraft, bringing its total orders for the family to 190. The deal marks the largest aircraft order in ACG’s nearly 40-year history.
ACG CEO Thomas Baker said the company’s fleet strategy focuses on new-generation narrowbody aircraft. ACG’s direct order relationship with Airbus dates back to 2007, while total worldwide orders for the A320neo Family have exceeded 20,400. The aircraft family, which includes the A320neo and A321neo, delivers at least 20% lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions compared with previous-generation narrowbody aircraft.
