French low-cost carrier Transavia France, part of the Air France-KLM Group, has taken delivery of its first A-320neo airplane, on lease from Avolon, from Airbus manufacturing site in Toulouse. The airline has opted for the industry option to have the delivery flight to Paris-Orly powered by a Sustainable Aviation Fuel blend on board. 

The new aircraft features 186 seats in a single class layout. The model will be deployed by Transavia France on its services on its domestic network as well as across its European and Mediterranean markets. 

The introduction of its first aircraft marks the beginning of Transavia France' transition to become an all Airbus operator, powered by efficient A-320neo Family aircraft. With its reduced fuel burn and emissions, the airplane will play a key role in advancing the airline Group's sustainable development goals.

By incorporating new generation CFM International LEAP-1A engines and Sharklets, the A-320neo brings a noise footprint reduction and fuel savings and CO2 reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, while improving passenger comfort in a wider single-aisle cabin.

The A-320neo Family is the world’s most popular single aisle having won nearly 9,800 orders from nearly 140 customers in all markets.
