GoAir has announced the delivery of its
first A320 NEO aircraft which landed early morning at Delhi airport.
With this addition GoAir adds its 20th aircraft
into the existing fleet of 19 A320 aircrafts. The A320 NEO incorporates latest
generation engines and many innovations to ensure smooth flying experience
while also reducing carbon footprint. As a responsible airline GoAir has
decided to forgo the customary water cannon salute on arrival at Delhi to avoid
unnecessary wastage of water.
Speaking on the occasion, Wolfgang
Prock-Schauer, CEO, GoAir said, “GoAir is delighted to welcome A320
NEO into its fleet. With the induction of the first of our 72 NEO
aircraft on order, we have reached a fleet strength of 20 aircrafts. With this
expansion we will be able to strengthen our domestic network and will also be
available to fly on international routes.”
The A320neo is configured in a comfortable
layout and is equipped with the innovative Spaceflex cabin concepts making even
more efficient use of the available space. GoAir is also the first airline to
use this aircraft in Spaceflex configuration with 186 seats enabling better
service and availability during peak seasons, without compromising on the
comfort of the traveller.
The A320neo “new engine option”
incorporates a host of innovations, including latest generation engines and
large Sharklet wing-tip devices. These allow for 15 percent in fuel savings
from day one and 20 per cent by 2020. This is equivalent to a reduction of
5,000 tonnes of CO2 per aircraft per year.
