On November 1, 2023, Brussels Airlines received its first Airbus A320neo, straight from the Airbus factory in Toulouse. This was a milestone moment for Brussels Airlines, as it was the first time in the history of the carrier that brand-new aircraft joined the fleet. Brussels Airlines currently has five A320neos and is excited to announce that three more aircraft of this type will join the fleet by summer 2026. These state-of-the-art aircraft will replace two older A319-aircraft. The third unit is used to expand the fleet.

Fleet renewal is an important part Brussels Airlines’ strategy to reduce its carbon footprint. The A320neo reduces CO2 emissions up to 20% compared to its predecessor. As Brussels Airlines uses the A320neo to replace smaller A319-aircraft, the benefits are even bigger, with reductions up to 30% per passenger. The A320neo also represents a 50% noise reduction compared to previous generation aircraft.
