January 13, 2014 - Airbus has increased the
average list prices of its aircraft by 2.6 per
cent across the product line. The new pricing is
effective from January 1st 2014.
The 2.6 per cent price increase has been
calculated according to Airbus’ standard
escalation formula over the January 2013 to
January 2014 period.
“Our new 2014 pricing reaffirms the unbeatable
value of Airbus’ modern, fuel-efficient aircraft
family,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating
Officer, Customers.
“We see continuing strong demand in all aircraft
size categories as our reliable, efficient
product line enables customers to grow their
businesses profitably as well as pleasing
passengers who will always favor the most
comfortable cabin.”
Airbus Aircraft: 2014 Average List
Prices (Million USD)
A318 - $71.9 - The Airbus A318 is
the smallest member of the Airbus A320 family of
short- to medium-range, narrow-body, commercial
passenger jet airliners
A319 - $85.8 - The A319 is a shortened,
minimum-change version of the A320. Also known
as the A320M-7, it is 12 ft 3 in shorter than
the A320 four frames fore of the wing and three
frames aft of the wing were removed. This allows
the number of emergency exits to be reduced to
six. With virtually the same fuel capacity as
the A320-200, and fewer passengers, the range
with 124 passengers in a two-class configuration
extends to 3,590 nmi, or 3,700 nmi with the
"Sharklets"
A320 - $93.9 - The Airbus A320 family consists
of short- to medium-range, narrow-body,
commercial passenger jet airliners. The A320s
are also named A320ceo (current engine option)
after the introduction of the A320neo. The
aircraft family can accommodate up to 220
passengers and has a range of 1,700 to 6,500 nmi
depending on model.
A321 -
$110.1 - The Airbus A321 is a stretched first derivative
of the standard A320. A321's major change is the
stretched fuselage, which is lengthened by 22 ft 9 in
the A321 is the largest of the A320 family.
A319neo - $94.4 - Airbus offers three advanced variants
of the A320 family with the "New Engine Option" the
A319, A320 and A321.
A320neo - $102.8 -The Airbus A320neo letters "neo" stand
for "New Engine Option". Modernization program also
included such improvements as: Aerodynamic refinements,
large curved winglets (Sharklets), weight savings, a new
cabin with larger luggage spaces, and an improved air
purification system. These improvements in combination
are predicted to result in 15% less fuel consumption, 8%
lower operating costs, less noise production, and a
reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by at least
10% compared to the A320 series, as well as an increase
in range of approximately 500 nautical miles.
A321neo - $120.5 - The A321neo can accommodate up to 236
seats. In conjunction with the additional over-wing exit
door, a second new option is available whereby the
forward exit is de-activated. This creates a seamless,
undivided forward cabin allowing additional seats and
even more flexibility in multi-class seat arrangements.
This option will be of particular use in longer range
markets where high comfort standards are needed in
Premium class.
A330-200 - $221.7 - The Airbus A330 is a wide-body
twin-engine jet airliner, the A330-300, the first
variant. Responding to dwindling sales, Airbus followed
up with the slightly shorter A330-200 variant which has
proven more popular. Subsequently developed A330
variants include a dedicated freighter, the A330-200F,
and a military tanker, the A330 MRTT.
330-200 Freighter - $224.8 - The A330-200F mid-sized
freighter version is tailored for long-haul routes and
regional operations to feed cargo into hub airports. The
A330-200F’s large main-deck cargo door allows the
aircraft to accept all commonly-used pallets and
containers, enabling the transport of a full range of
cargo – from high-value consumer goods to express
packages and perishables.
A330-300 - $245.6 - The Airbus A330 is a wide-body
twin-engine jet airliner. The A330-300, the first
variant, the A330-300 is based on a stretched A300
fuselage 208 ft 11 in long but with new wings,
stabilizers and fly-by-wire systems. The 300 carries 295
passengers in a three-class cabin layout, 335 in
two-class, or up to 440 in an all-economy layout. It has
a range of 5,700 nmi. It has a large cargo capacity,
comparable to that of early Boeing 747s. It is powered
by the choice of two General Electric CF6-80E, Pratt &
Whitney PW4000, or Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines, all of
which are ETOPS-180 rated.
A350-800 - $260.9 - The A350-800 will seat 270
passengers in a 3-class with a 9-abreast layout. It will
have a range of 8,300 nmi. It is designed to compete
with the Boeing 787-9 and to directly replace the Airbus
A330-200. A350-800 allows for a higher maximum takeoff
weight. The -800's fuselage is 10 frames shorter (six
forward and four aft) than the -900 aircraft. The
baseline -800 will be offered with an MTOW of 248 t
(550,000 lb), MLW of 190 t (420,000 lb), MZFW of 178 t
(390,000 lb), and 330 kN (74,000 lbf) thrust engines. An
optional 11-ton (24,000 lb) increase in MTOW, to 259 t
(570,000 lb) with a corresponding increase of MZFW to
181 t (400,000 lb), MLW to 193 t (430,000 lb), and a
higher thrust 370 kN (83,000 lbf) engine.
A350-900 - $295.2 - The A350-900 is the first A350 model
and seats 314 passengers in a 3-class cabin 9-abreast
layout. It has a standard design range target of 8,100
nmi. The -900 is designed to compete with the Boeing
777-200ER and replace the Airbus A340-300.
A350-1000 - $340.7 - The A350-1000 has an 11-frame
stretch over the -900. It is the largest variant of the
A350 family and will seat 350 passengers in a 3-class
cabin 9-abreast layout. It has a range of 8,400 nmi. It
is designed to compete with the Boeing 777-300ER and
replace the Airbus A340-600.
A380 - $414.4 - The Airbus A380 is a double-deck,
wide-body, four-engine jet airliner. It is the world's
largest passenger airliner. The A380's upper deck
extends along the entire length of the fuselage, with a
width equivalent to a wide-body aircraft. This gives the
A380-800's cabin 5,145.1 sq ft of floor space, which is
40% more than the next-largest airliner, the Boeing
747-8 and provides seating for 525 people in a typical
three-class configuration or up to 853 people in an
all-economy class configuration. The A380-800 has a
design range of 8,500 nmi; 9,800 mil, with a cruising
speed of Mach 0.85, about 560 mph at cruising altitude.
