Athens, Greece – AEGEAN has placed a strategic investment in two Airbus A321neo XLR aircraft to support its first direct services to India—New Delhi and Mumbai—from March and May 2026, while further enhancing long-range comfort and network flexibility. The two A321neo XLR jets, each with up to 10.5 hrs range, is scheduled for December 2025 and January 2026 delivery—joining AEGEAN’s existing order of 60 A320/A321neo aircraft, 36 already in service.

Mr. Eftichios Vassilakis, AEGEAN Chairman stated: “The addition of these two A321neo XLR aircraft with special configuration, which will be delivered in 2025, in addition to the four A321neo LRs that we plan to take delivery in 2027 and 2028, accelerates our access to the extremely important Indian market, but also allows for the immediate upgrade of our product and services to destinations outside the EU, longer than 4 hours in which we already operate. The A321neo XLR and LR aircraft mark the beginning of a new chapter for AEGEAN, with new possibilities for growth but also new options for our passengers and the connectivity of our country. With new fleet capabilities, strong vertically integrated support infrastructure and most importantly drawing upon the creativity and strengths of our people, we plan to move forward with ambitious but also careful and consistent steps as always.”
