Brussels, August 29, 2025 – The Board of Directors of Brussels Airlines has approved the addition of five brand-new Airbus A320neo aircraft to the fleet, bringing the total number of this next-generation aircraft to 13. This investment underlines Brussels Airlines’ commitment to reducing its environmental footprint, enhancing the passenger experience, and growing sustainably and profitably.
Brussels Airlines currently operates five Airbus A320neo aircraft and expects three more to join the fleet in the coming months. The next delivery from the Airbus factory in Toulouse is scheduled for November.
In addition, the Board of Directors has approved the phase-in of five additional A320neo aircraft, with deliveries expected from 2027 onwards. This investment will bring the total number of A320neo aircraft in the Brussels Airlines fleet to 13.
“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.”

More sustainable and quieter flying
The Airbus A320neo delivers up to 20% lower CO₂ emissions and 50% less noise compared to previous models. Larger overhead bins provide 40% more storage space, making boarding faster and smoother.
The new aircraft will mainly replace older-generation planes, with one dedicated to growing the fleet. Brussels Airlines deploys the A320 family across its short- and medium-haul network.
More investments ahead
Brussels Airlines is also expanding its long-haul fleet to 13 Airbus A330 aircraft and, from 2027, will introduce new cabins across its intercontinental network. In addition, the airline plans to renovate its award-winning lounge at Brussels Airport, THE LOFT.
