Avolon, an international aircraft leasing company, has delivered three new A320-200neos to ITA Airways.

A further two aircraft will be delivered later in the year, supporting ITA Airway’s target for its portfolio to comprise 80 percent new generation fuel-efficient aircraft by 2026.

In a March 6 press release, Paul Geaney, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Avolon, said, “We are delighted to support ITA Airways with the delivery of the first A320neos in their fleet. One of our core commitments is to help customers make the transition to fuel-efficient new technology aircraft, and this deal demonstrates how a lessor like Avolon can help airlines achieve their sustainability ambitions.”

The newly delivered aircraft are the first A320neos in ITA Airway’s fleet. Carrying the company’s striking new blue livery, these aircraft will support its short and medium-haul services in the 2023 summer season.

Francesco Presicce, Officer, Chief Technology Officer ITA Airways, said, “The A320neo combines technology and efficiency to deliver 20 percent less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions per seat compared to previous generation aircraft. It is further enriching ITA Airways modern and environment-friendly fleet, which will feature 80 percent new generation aircraft by 2026. We are very pleased to be working with Avolon and taking delivery of these new aircraft to serve on our domestic and international network as we look forward to a busy summer 2023.”
