Ah they are wearing orange jumpsuits for this too. However no parachutes this time.  The aircraft doesn't have an escape hatch either... |

It's just the engines and their associated equipment that are new, so this is a much less risky FF than that of say, the A350. |

Looking forward to filling up your nice sheet limoncello.
I just wonder if in real life the 319NEO will come before 321NEO. One would expect logical the other way.
Maybe they do not want to canibalize on CEO orders ?

Maybe they do not want to canibalize on CEO orders ? - The A321neo may require more lead time than the A319neo (just a guess of mine). - Airbus may have a major A320-family customer with an intended yet undisclosed A319neo order. - The A319neo helps to make any CSeries breakthrough more difficult. |
