FLYONE Armenia, the country’s leading airline, has finalised an order with Airbus for two A321neo aircraft, marking a significant milestone in its fleet modernisation strategy. The agreement was initially announced as a Memorandum of Understanding during French President Emmanuel Macron’s official visit to Yerevan on 5 May 2026.

The aircraft, which represent FLYONE Armenia’s first direct purchase from Airbus, will be powered by CFM International LEAP engines and configured in a high-density, all-economy layout seating 239 passengers. The addition of the two A321neos forms a central pillar of the carrier’s long-term growth plans, supporting both fleet enhancement and the expansion of its route network.

Founded in 2021, FLYONE Armenia currently operates a fleet of 11 Airbus A320 Family aircraft and has rapidly established itself as one of the region’s fastest-growing carriers. The new-generation A321neos will deliver greater operational efficiency, increased capacity, and enhanced sustainability, further strengthening the airline’s position in the competitive regional aviation market.

Aram Khachatryan, CEO of FLYONE Armenia commented: “Our first direct order with Airbus marks an important and symbolic milestone in FLYONE Armenia’s development. Having two new A321neo aircraft built by Airbus specifically for our  airline reflects our continued commitment to fleet modernisation and long-term growth. We are proud to strengthen our partnership with Airbus and are confident that this investment will support not only FLYONE Armenia’s future development, but also the continued growth of Armenia’s civil aviation sector and its international cooperation.”

Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business stated: “This first direct order from FLYONE Armenia underscores the airline's commitment for operational excellence and enhanced passenger comfort as it continues to expand its A320 Family fleet. We are very happy to welcome FLYONE as a new member of the Airbus family and we look forward to a deep and fruitful collaboration together to support their strategic growth plans.”

The Airbus A320 Family remains the world’s best-selling single-aisle aircraft programme, with more than 20,000 orders secured from customers worldwide. Its range includes the A321neo, the largest variant in the family, which combines exceptional range, capacity and operational performance.

Designed to deliver significant efficiency gains, the A320neo Family reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by at least 20% compared with previous-generation single-aisle aircraft. At the same time, passengers benefit from one of the widest cabins in its class, offering enhanced comfort and a superior travel experience.
