"Transavia"

Air Lease Corporation (ALC) has this week announced the placement of two more Airbus A321neos with Transavia.

This represents an expansion in the aircraft type for the Dutch carrier, which will follow in the years ahead.

Without further ado, let’s get into it…

The Deal Between ALC & Transavia…

The placement of two Airbus A321neos with Transavia is part of a steady but slow growth in their relationship.

Deliveries of these two units will take place in late 2025 and early 2026 respectively.

It means the total of aircraft leased to the Dutch carrier by ALC will stand at seven.

For the first delivery, this was coordinated by the lessor themselves back in December 2023 as well.

Steven F. Udvar-Házy, Executive Chairman of Air Lease Corporation had this to say on the deal:

“ALC is pleased to announce this transaction for two additional Airbus A321neo aircraft with Transavia”.

“Our nine A321-200neo aircraft will offer significant enhancements and efficiency to the airline’s fleet operations, as demonstrated by the first ALC A321neo that delivered to Transavia last year.”

The Airline & The Aircraft Type…

Back in December, Transavia took delivery of their first Airbus A321neo aircraft on lease from ALC.

The A321neo, with its 232 seats in a single-class configuration, operated its first commercial flight out of Amsterdam Schiphol airport on January 5, 2024.

Benjamin Smith, the CEO of Air France-KLM (Which owns Transavia), expressed his enthusiasm, emphasizing the shift towards quieter, less polluting, and more fuel-efficient aircraft.

“This is the beginning of a new chapter for Transavia and for the Group,”

It hasn’t been without it’s shaky starts, however.

A couple of days into commercial service, the aircraft suffered a bird strike in Faro, Portugal.

On top of that, on March 4, the emergency slides deployed randomly in Barcelona as well.

Other than that, no other incidents had been recorded regarding the aircraft type, assuming all is well technically.

Overall…

In conclusion, the deal between ALC and Transavia will no doubt continue to expand in due time.

Low-cost carriers such as the Dutch airline may continue to utilize leasing placements as it can be cheaper in some cases.

All eyes will be on how much further the relationship expands, as well as the overall fleet count of the Airbus A321neo moving forward.

But for now, let’s see how the rest of the year goes for both sides.

Transavia were also keen to note that the flights will be operated with their Airbus A321neos on some rotations.

The airline has made a strong song and dance about the aircraft type.

In the statement, the airline said the following on the introduction of the aircraft type into commercial service:

“The introduction of the Airbus fits in with our ambition to become more sustainable.”

“With the fleet renewal we reduce fuel use, CO2 emissions, nitrogen emissions and noise pollution. The total fleet replacement will take approximately seven years.”

Transavia took delivery of their first Airbus A321neo back in December, with the first flights completed by January.

Data from Planespotters.net shows that the airline is expecting another five for delivery in the months ahead.

Overall…

Overall, it is positive news that Transavia is growing it’s route network further out of Eindhoven.

It is new aircraft like the Airbus A321neo that will enable them to grow further and keep costs low.

Looking ahead, all eyes will be on what other routes will be revealed as more deliveries occur.

Air France-KLM has celebrated the arrival of their first Airbus A320neo aircraft at Transavia France.

The aircraft, bearing the registration number F-GNEO, is powered by CFM International LEAP-1A engines and fitted with 186 seats in a single-class configuration, and will be based at Paris-Orly airport.

Delivery January 10

On December 19, 2023, Transavia Netherlands received its inaugural Airbus A321neo, marking the commencement of Air France-KLM’s transition to the A320neo family.

Fast forward to January 10, 2024, and the group proudly took delivery of the A320neo for Transavia France, equipped with CFM International LEAP-1A engines and Sharklet wingtip modifications.

The cabin features Airbus’ Airspace XL bins. The larger bins provide 40% more stowage space compared to conventional bins, for a more relaxed boarding.

In addition, USB-C ports are available for passengers at each seat, and the latest lighting system enhances the overall passenger experience.

Paris-Orly: The New Hub

Designed to be based at Paris-Orly airport, Transavia France’s primary hub, the Airbus A320neo is set to take center stage in the airline’s operations.

Its first commercial flight, scheduled for January 15, 2024, will journey to Porto Airport, Portugal – a nostalgic nod to Transavia France’s inaugural destination when it launched in 2007.

Beyond its maiden voyage, the A320neo is poised to become a linchpin in Transavia France’s extensive network, spanning over 200 routes and connecting to 120 destinations.

This strategic move aligns with the airline’s overarching goal of solidifying its position as a leading low-cost carrier departing from Paris area airports.

Air France-KLM’s Fleet Renewal

Benjamin Smith, CEO of Air France-KLM, emphasized the milestone, stating, “The delivery of this first Airbus A320neo is a key step in the history of Transavia France.”

“It marks the transition to an all-Airbus fleet, embodying our commitment to developing the operations of our low-cost brand.”

With ambitions to strengthen Transavia France’s foothold as the top low-cost carrier in Paris, Air France-KLM’s strategy hinges on fleet expansion.

The decision to integrate quieter, less polluting, and fuel-efficient A320neo aircraft underscores their dedication to “making low cost feel good.”

Fleet Dynamics

This delivery is part of a larger order placed in 2021, covering 100 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, with options for an additional 60.

This strategic move aims to rejuvenate KLM and Transavia Netherlands’ fleets while simultaneously fostering the growth of Transavia France’s fleet.

The A320neo Advantage

Benefiting from the latest technological advancements, the A320neo family brings unparalleled performance to the table.

A 50% noise reduction, coupled with a 15% decrease in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, sets a new benchmark in aviation sustainability.

Cost-Efficiency in Focus

Beyond environmental benefits, the A320neo family promises more than a 10% reduction in unit costs, positioning it as a formidable player in cost-efficient aviation.

This dual focus on eco-friendliness and economic viability aligns seamlessly with Air France-KLM’s overarching strategy.

Acknowledging the aviation industry’s responsibility towards environmental stewardship, Air France-KLM leverages fleet renewal as a primary lever to reduce CO2 and noise emissions.

This, alongside sustainable aviation fuel utilization and operational measures like eco-piloting, forms the cornerstone of their decarbonization trajectory.

Air France-KLM’s commitment to sustainability is evident in their achievements – a 40% reduction in noise footprint since the 2000s. Looking ahead, the group aspires to achieve a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions per passenger/km by 2030, compared to 2019 levels.
