British Airways parent IAG has placed an order for an additional 37 Airbus aircraft.

The new service will start on 5 June 2023

IAG will convert options for 12 A320neo family into firm orders. It also plans to place an order a further 25 A320neo aircraft, which will include options for another 50.

The group said the new short-haul aircraft would replace outgoing Airbus A320ceo models.

The new aircraft are due for delivery between 2025 and 2028, with the split between A320neos and A321neos "to be determined nearer delivery".


The order is yet subject to approval by IAG shareholders. IAG is also parent to Aer Lingus, Iberia, Vueling and Level.


IAG said the order for the more fuel-efficient aircraft formed part of its plan "to meet climate commitments".
