There is also a greater density of seats (186) on the A320neo aircraft resulting in lower fuel emissions per seat/passenger. This is the first of two new Airbus A320neo aircraft which Aer Lingus has leased from CDB Aviation.
The aircraft will be part of the airline’s short-haul fleet, predominantly operating Heathrow routes. They replace two previous generation aircraft, Airbus A320ceo, which will be retired.
