‍BRUSSELS — The Board of Directors of Brussels Airlines (SN) has approved te purchase of five additional Airbus A320neo aircraft for the Belgian carrier, bringing the total order to 13 jets. 

Brussels Airlines operates five A320neo aircraft with three more to be delivered between November and December 2025 from the Airbus factory in Toulouse. Deliveries of additional aircraft are set to start in 2027.

“Brussels Airlines has worked very hard to achieve a cost structure that allows the airline to be sustainably profitable, enabling us to reinvest in our company. The A320neo reduces our environmental footprint and offers a more pleasant experience for our passengers. We are very happy to welcome more of these state-of-the-art aircraft to our fleet,” said Dorothea von Boxberg, CEO of Brussels Airlines.

Boosting Sustainability, Comfort with A320neo

The Airbus A320neo offers 20% lower CO2 emissions and 50% less noise compared to older A320ceo aircraft. Larger overhead bins increase storage by 40% enabling faster and smoother boarding.

The brand-new aircraft aim to replace older A320 generation aircraft on short- and medium-haul networks.

Investing in the Future

In addition to its short- and medium-haul fleets, the airline's long-haul fleet will expand to include 13 Airbus A330 aircraft. 

Starting from 2027, the new cabin will improve passengers' comfort across the intercontinental network. Additionally, the airline plans to renovate its award-winning lounge at Brussels Airport (BRU), its central hub.
