After Spirit Airlines’ announcement on Thursday that it has converted orders for all 31 Airbus A319neo’s into larger A321neo’s, Airbus confirmed today in its orders and deliveries list for July that total orders for the type have come down to 61. With fourteen deliveries completed, only 47 remain, but that’s no certainty. How long will Airbus continue with the A319neo?
The uncertainty is in the undisclosed section of the backlog. There are 31 A319neo’s listed as undisclosed, one down on June, with one aircraft having been delivered in July. This must be one for Tibet Airlines, which shows as the only airline to have taken delivery of an A319neo last month on July 20. It’s not known if the remaining 31 aircraft in the undisclosed section will ever be delivered. Some will, some probably won’t.
