Dublin-based leasing specialist Avolon has delivered the first of eight Airbus A320neos to Royal Jordanian marking the delivery with a ceremony at Airbus’ delivery centre in Toulouse.
Royal Jordanian A320neos are configured with 180seats in a one-class all economy layout and designed for passenger comfort and efficient operations across its extensive regional network.
The remaining seven aircraft will be delivered over the next 12 months.
Paul Geaney, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Avolon, commented: “We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with Royal Jordanian with this first A320neo delivery. We are proud to play a central role in the airline’s fleet expansion plans, leveraging our large orderbook to support Royal Jordanian’s future growth. As passenger traffic in the region continues to grow, we look forward to future opportunities to work together.”
Samer Majali, Vice Chairman and CEO of Royal Jordanian, added: “The delivery of our first A320neo marks a significant milestone in our fleet modernization strategy. This aircraft, with its advanced technology and enhanced fuel efficiency, will enable us to offer improved services to our passengers while reducing our environmental footprint.
“Configured with all economy seats, this aircraft will serve a number of popular tourist routes, supporting our goal to promote Jordan as a destination of choice. It also reinforces our role as the preferred carrier connecting the Levant with key cities across the Middle East, and Europe, as we continue to position Amman as the region’s leading transit hub.”
Avolon currently has 140 Airbus A320neos in its worldwide fleet (as of 31/03/2024) and has a further 294 on order.
