First Airbus A321neo for Icelandair emerges
Icelandair has shared photos of its first Airbus A321neo emerging after painting. The airline is set to take delivery of A321-200NX TF-IAA (12213) in November. By the start of next year's summer season, it expects to have taken delivery of three more.
In total, Icelandair is set to lease seven A321-200NXs, five via SMBC (one of which is this one), and two from CDB Aviation Leasing. The seven aircraft are an interim solution for the thirteen A321-200NYs the airline has on order directly with Airbus and which are planned for delivery from 2029 onwards.
Icelandair will use its new A321neos to replace its ageing fleet of Boeing B757s. Currently, the airline's fleet is made-up of seventeen B737-8s, four B737-9s, twelve B757-200s, two B757-300s, three B767-300ERs, and two B767-300ERBCFs.
