Airbus A-320neo
The Airbus A320neo is a modernized version of the A320 family and made its first flight in 2014. The 'neo' stands for 'New Engine Option', since the aircraft is fitted with more efficient engines. As a result, the A320neo burns significantly less fuel than older A320 models and produces fewer emissions. Its large wingtip 'Sharklets', which reduce drag, are another distinctive feature.
