Airbus is advancing the development of its next-generation single-aisle aircraft (NGSA) to replace the A320, targeting a 20-30% increase in fuel efficiency and compatibility with up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel, with an expected entry into service in the late 2030s. Key priorities include enhancing business sustainability, CO efficiency, and production capacity, aiming for up to 1,000 aircraft annually. The company is exploring various propulsion options, including CFM International's Open Fan engine, with flight tests planned to begin in 2029.
