OE-INO easyJet Europe Airbus A320-200 (2024)

FAQs

What engines are in the easyJet A320? ›

LUTON, England – Leading European carrier easyJet has ordered CFM LEAP-1A engines to power a fleet of 157 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, including 56 A320neo and 101 A321neo, which will be delivered from 2029, along with spare engines and a multi-year services agreement. .

First, the A320neo: with CFM LEAP-1A engines and wingtip 'Sharklets' – that is, extra up-turned tips on the wings that reduce drag and minimise fuel consumption – that can travel a cool 2,520 miles with 186 people on board. We've got these to spare: 43 in total.

We operate one of the youngest fleets in the industry with 318 Airbus A320 family aircraft. We've recently welcomed the new generation Airbus A320neo to the fleet and will have 100 of these in service by the end of 2022.

Neither one has any significant advantage in safety, though any airplane has its quirks.

They might not be as glamorous as their larger and more imposing siblings, such as the 787 or the A350, but they are trusted workhorses of most fleets all over the world. For many of us, when we travel by air, we are highly likely to find ourselves on an A320 or 737 for most of our flights.

It all depends on how many other people on that particular flight decide to pay to select their seats. If it is going to upset you to be apart, even for only a relatively short time, then bite the bullet and pay to select your seats now rather than leaving it to chance.

In a Yelp review, one passenger said, "Seat pitch was very small, which is par for the course for many low-cost airlines. However, as I am tall, it was horrible for me, with next to no comfortable legroom, and my knees were touching the seat in front. Even worse, the seat did not recline whatsoever.

Our minimum seat dimensions are as follows: Pitch (distance between back of seat and back of seat in front): 28 inches (approx. 71 cm) Width (distance between armrests): 16 inches (approx.

Ryanair may win in offering the cheapest deals, but EasyJet provides a better flight experience overall. With more lenient carry-on policies, increased comfort, and improved schedules, EasyJet caters to the needs of passionate travelers.

Are Airbus safer than Boeing? ›

Let's take a look at the number of NTSB events per 100k departures over time. The result indicates to me that Boeing has more NTSB events per departure, about 6.5 per 100k departures vs. 3.8 per 100k for Airbus (assuming I haven't made any errors). That's about 1.7x more events per departure than Airbus!

EasyJet UK staff would continue to be based in Luton. The group will thus comprise three airlines, EasyJet UK, EasyJet Europe, and EasyJet Switzerland, all of which are owned by EasyJet PLC, which is itself EU owned and controlled, listed on the London Stock Exchange, and based in the UK.

Extra Legroom

These seats can be found at the front of the plane in the first row, with all six seats, including A, B, C, D, E, and F providing passengers with a little more leg space. Meanwhile, the two other rows with extra legroom are in the emergency exit rows in the middle of the plane.

Special assistance on board the aircraft

We do have an on board wheelchair to help you get to and from the toilet; you must be able to transfer yourself from/to the aircraft seat and toilet compartment to the on board wheelchair. Currently the longest scheduled easyJet flight is 5 hours.

Ryanair uses Boeing, and easyJet uses Airbus.”

As the only engine that can power every model of the A320 family with one bill of materials, the CFM56-5B provides airlines a distinct commonality advantage. The CFM56-5 is the engine of choice for the A320 family, having been selected to power nearly 60 percent of the A318/A319/A320/A321 aircraft ordered.

There is a choice of two advanced turbofan engines: the Pratt & Whitney GTF™; and the LEAP-1A from CFM International. The NEO versions also feature Airbus' large, fuel-saving wingtip devices known as Sharklets™.

The airline also operates a fleet of 125 A320ceo family aircraft with V2500 engines. Spirit has relied on engines from Pratt & Whitney to power its entire fleet since the airline started operations in the 1980s, when it operated DC-9 and MD-80 family aircraft with JT8D engines.
