Seat layout, engines, who flies it (IndiGo, China Eastern Airlines, Air India) and its safety record, with sources." url: https://orbitflights.app/aircraft/airbus-a320neo --- Airbus # Airbus A320neo The A320neo is the re-engined version of Airbus's best-selling A320, fitted with either CFM LEAP-1A or Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engines and large wingtip sharklets. It keeps the same fuselage and cabin as the earlier A320, so most airlines seat between 150 and 186 passengers on short and medium-haul routes. Airbus says it burns around a fifth less fuel per seat than the aircraft it replaces. **Typical seats** 150–180 **Range** 6,300 km **First flight** September 2014 **In service since** January 2016 _\[Image: easyJet A320neo G-UZLS at Manchester Airport\]_ easyJet A320neo G-UZLS at Manchester Airport.

The type certificate allows at most 195 passengers — the exit limit, which no airline with a premium cabin comes near. ### Airbus’s reference layout Drawn by Orbit from the figures in [Airbus A320 Aircraft Characteristics – Airport and Maintenance Planning (Rev. Jun 01/24), §2-4-1 Interior Arrangements – Typical Configuration, Two-Class](https://www.aircraft.airbus.com/sites/g/files/jlcbta126/files/2025-01/AC%5FA320%5F0624.pdf).

More than a hundred airlines fly the wider A320neo family. ### Is the A320neo safe? Yes. The A320neo has had no accident that killed anyone on board.
