At Airbus Neo, as the developers say, compared to the base model to 15 percent reduced fuel consumption, increased range and payload. Uzbekistan Airways is considering the acquisition of a new line of the Airbus family of A320 Neo, told Sputnik source in Uzbekistan Airlines. In the future, a number of airlines in the world will begin a broad commercial use of aircraft of this type, and the data will show how it will be effective, and hence the need Uzbekistan Airways. At Airbus Neo, as the developers say, compared to the base model 15% reduced fuel consumption, increased range and payload. In addition, 8% reduced harmful emissions, and 10% - noise level. "Now we exploit the ten well-proven medium-range A320. Therefore, we study the question of the possible acquisition of new models of Airbus, designed to replace the Boeing 757, which in the 2021-2022 year will be over 20 years", - said the source. The company, he said, there is a hard and fast rule for the conclusion of the operation of passenger cars with a lifetime of more than 20 years. Therefore, the age of the Boeing 757 is scheduled to convert for cargo transportation, especially since Uzbekistan Airways already has a similar experience. Last year, the company Sasco Aircraft based in Singapore two Uzbek Boeing-767 have been modified in this way. "Naturally, after the decommissioning of the machines they have to be replaced, and the best choice - it's A320 Neo. The result is a rise in fuel efficiency by nearly 70% at the same distance and loading passengers. In addition, the entire cabin ergonomics in them remains the same - to be very easy to retrain pilots and engineers ", - said the source. Another important factor - after a few years in the territory of the airline Uzbekistan Airways Technics is built a special hangar, suitable to serve this type of aircraft, which are used in the design of composite materials. He will be operated for 50 years and is designed for simultaneous servicing of two Boeing 787 Dreamliner and four A320 Neo.
