Brussels Airlines secures five brand-new Airbus A320neos for fleet expansion
Brussels Airlines has secured five brand-new Airbus A320neos as it looks to expand its fleet with additional next-generation aircraft.
On August 29, 2025, the carrier, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, confirmed that its board of directors had approved further investment in A320neo jets.
Brussels Airlines currently operates five Airbus A320neos and has three more on order, with the newest batch set to begin arriving from Toulouse from November 2025.
The five additional A320neo aircraft are expected to join the fleet from 2027 onwards, bringing the total number of the jet type to 13 once all deliveries are completed.
“This investment underlines Brussels Airlines’ commitment to reducing its environmental footprint, enhancing the passenger experience, and growing sustainably and profitably,” the airline said in a statement.
The airline praised the A320neo’s ability to deliver up to 20% lower CO₂ emissions and 50% less noise compared to previous models.
The new aircraft will mainly replace older-generation planes, with one dedicated to growing the fleet.
Dorothea von Boxberg, CEO, Brussels Airlines, said: “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.”
She added: “We are very happy to welcome more of these state-of-the-art aircraft to our fleet.”
As previously announced, Brussels Airlines is also expanding its long-haul fleet to 13 Airbus A330 aircraft. From 2027, it will introduce new cabins across its intercontinental network.
According to ch-aviation, Brussels Airlines currently operates 10 active Airbus A330-300s.
