Ana Holdings has confirmed orders for 27 Airbus narrow bodies, including Japan's first A321XLRS, along with 15 Embraer 190-E2s.
The Japanese group first revealed its intention to order 24 A321Neos, three A321XLRS and 15 E190-E2s in February, along with commitments to up to 30 Boeing aircraft. During the Paris Air Show on June 16th, we completed deals for the Airbus and Embraer portions of those aircraft.
ANA's low-cost unit, Peach Aviation, is set to debut the A321XLR in Japan when it receives its first example of a long-range narrow body, but it also operates 10 of the A321Neos. The remaining 10 A321neos are operated by the mainline carrier ANA.
Embraer trading includes five additional types of options.
Ana says the aircraft will be deployed in national and international networks.
Previously, it has revealed that 13 A321neo-family jets directed at Peach are powered by CFM International Leap-1A engines.
