FLIGHTBLOGGER: Airbus lays groundwork for A320 re-engining

By Jon Ostrower

Airbus has moved closer to launching a revamped A320 family after signing agreements with CFM International and Pratt & Whitney which will lay the groundwork for re-engining the twinjet, Flightglobal affiliate FlightBlogger reports.

While the scope of the agreement - which was signed within the past week - remains unclear, multiple industry sources say that this step is more technical in nature.

Good,

it will keep the A320 more economical viable for airlines to operate. Boeing will probably come out with the same news later this year.

Bad,

because it means we have to wait longer to welcome a true replacement for these narrowbodies.

Cheers!
