Bringing together technology and efficiency, the new Airbus A320neo delivers 20% less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions per seat compared to previous generation aircraft. With the new aircraft, ITA Airways will further enrich its modern and environment-friendly fleet, which will feature 80% new generation aircraft by 2026, with the consequent downscaling of 1.3 million tons of CO2 emissions.
