FARNBOROUGH: German airline Germania on Tuesday ordered 25 single-aisle fuel-efficient Airbus A320neos worth $2.6 billion (2.4 billion euros) at list prices in an announcement at the Farnborough air show.
The firm aircraft order, for delivery from 2020 onwards, will double the Germania Group's current fleet of aircraft, the pair announced on the second day of Farnborough.
Airlines typically negotiate sizeable discounts to catalogue prices so the actual cost of the aircraft is likely to be lower.
The contact was signed at the air show by Germania boss officer Karsten Balke and Fabrice Bregier, president and CEO of Airbus.
"We are delighted that Germania Group has renewed its confidence in Airbus to further expand its Airbus fleet," Bregier said in a statement.
"By operating the A320neo, the airline will benefit from further fuel efficiency and latest cabin innovations with unmatched comfort for their passengers."
Berlin-based Germania Group flies to destinations in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East from mainly German, Swiss and British bases. The group currently has a fleet of 25 jets, including those at its sister Swiss company Germania Flug AG.
