A350-900s, A330-200s and A320neos Feature in 31-Jet IAG Airbus Order

International Airlines Group (IAG) has signed a firm order for 31 Airbus aircraft – eight A350-900s, three A330-200s and 20 A320neos.

The A350s and A330s are slated for Iberia’s fleet modernization and to open new long-haul routes, and the A320neos will be allocated to the group’s airlines for fleet replacement, according to Airbus.

Airbus performed an Americas demonstration tour with an A350-900 widebody in July 2015. The first stop on the tour was at São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport in Brazil, on July 8

Including its new order for 31 aircraft, IAG and its airlines have ordered a total of nearly 450 aircraft from Airbus.

Together, IAG’s airlines British Airways, Iberia and Vueling operate nearly every aircraft type in Airbus’ product range, from the A318 to the A380.

The A330 family is Airbus’ top-selling widebody family to date

Airbus has now won firm orders for more than 780 A350 XWB widebodies and has delivered five.

To date the Airbus A330 family has won firm orders for more than 1,500 aircraft, and Airbus has delivered more than 1,200 to some 110 operators worldwide.

Having accumulated firm orders for more than 4,000 aircraft by mid-2015, the Airbus A320neo family is following in the tradition of strong sales success enjoyed by the previous-generation A320 family

Meanwhile, the A320 family – including the new-generation A320neo family – has won firm orders for more than 11,800 aircraft.

Airbus has delivered more than 6,600 A320-family jets, to more than 300 operators worldwide.
