Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright has advised longstanding aviation client easyJet on its new order of 157 Airbus A320neo family aircraft with purchase rights for a further 100 aircraft. The transaction has an overall value of approximately US$19.9bn (based on Airbus last published list prices), spread over a number of years and subject to agreed price concessions negotiated between Airbus and easyJet. The new Airbus order is a significant landmark for easyJet, enabling future growth for the airline with the cost benefits and sustainability improvements associated with the latest new generation aircraft technology. As part of the deal, easyJet also agreed to exercise conversion rights within its current order book to convert 35 A320neo deliveries into larger A321neo aircraft with resultant improvements in fuel burn, CO2 emissions and operating costs per seat.
