Low cost airline easyJet has placed an order for 15 A320s, worth $1.1 billion at list prices, which are scheduled for delivery in 2012-14. The carrier has also taken options on a further 33 aircraft. It now has orders for 62 A320s, with options on 73.
The airline made a volte face in 2002 when it abandoned Boeing’s 737 family aircraft for its European rival, apparently due to deep discounts being offered by Airbus. However a spokesperson says easyJet maintains “an open and productive dialogue with Boeing on the development of current and future programmes” and that Boeing too offered substantial “price concessions".
