One Year and a Half A320neo Family Operational Conclusion
after EIS A320ceo Family Characteristics

33 October, 2017 Flight Operations & Training regional seminar

Conclusion

The best keeps getting better

+More than 150 neo aircraft operated worldwide
+Some ops mitigations and retrofit solutions defined to reach the Operational Reliability
(OR) target.

Maximized commonality ceo-neo for Flight Ops and Training

+Same flight operations handling
+Training limited to level B (half-a-day’s training).

Limited number of operational changes for A320neo

+Compliant with Level B training
+Most recent temporary changes tracked.
