The easyJet fleet is an all-Airbus A320-family fleet operated across easyJet's United Kingdom, Austrian and Swiss air operator certificates. The group reported 356 aircraft at 31 March 2026; a later company announcement recorded 359 aircraft when its 100th A320neo-family aircraft was delivered on 10 June 2026.[1]Half-year results for the six months ended 31 March 2026easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[2]easyJet marks its 100th neo deliveryeasyJet · easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details

The table is a dated group snapshot, not a live registration list. On 10 June 2026 easyJet announced that delivery of its 100th neo had taken the overall fleet to 359 aircraft, but it did not publish a replacement model-by-model census in that announcement. The March breakdown should therefore not be arithmetically adjusted without a later authoritative allocation.[2]easyJet marks its 100th neo deliveryeasyJet · easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Aircraft types and configuration
Airbus A319
The A319 entered easyJet service in 2003 and became the principal type during the airline's change from Boeing to Airbus aircraft. The current 156-seat arrangement is denser than the type's original easyJet configuration following a cabin modification programme.[4]Our journeyeasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[3]easyJet airline factseasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
The A319 fleet is powered by CFM56-5B engines. It is now the principal retirement fleet: easyJet's planning assumptions remove all A319s by the end of the 2029 financial year as larger neo aircraft arrive.[5]CFM confirms easyJet selection of a further 112 LEAP-1A enginesCFM International · cfmaeroengines.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[1]Half-year results for the six months ended 31 March 2026easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Airbus A320ceo
The A320ceo is the largest easyJet subfleet. Aircraft have either 180 or 186 seats, reflecting different cabin standards within the fleet. Like the A319, the type uses CFM56-5B engines.[3]easyJet airline factseasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[5]CFM confirms easyJet selection of a further 112 LEAP-1A enginesCFM International · cfmaeroengines.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
A320ceos remain important to near-term capacity even as easyJet's orderbook shifts the fleet towards new-engine aircraft. Retirements and lease returns are managed alongside deliveries, so a fall in older aircraft numbers does not directly equal the number of new aircraft received.[1]Half-year results for the six months ended 31 March 2026easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[6]Proposed purchase of new aircraft and purchase rightseasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Airbus A320neo
The first A320neo joined easyJet in 2017. The airline's aircraft use CFM International LEAP-1A engines and seat 186 passengers. At 31 March 2026 easyJet owned 70 of its 75 A320neos, making the neo subfleet substantially more ownership-weighted than the older fleet.[4]Our journeyeasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[1]Half-year results for the six months ended 31 March 2026easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[5]CFM confirms easyJet selection of a further 112 LEAP-1A enginesCFM International · cfmaeroengines.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Airbus A321neo
easyJet took delivery of its first A321neo in July 2018. The 235-seat aircraft is its largest model and is used to add capacity where airport slots or peak schedules constrain the number of movements. It is powered by LEAP-1A engines.[7]easyJet takes delivery of its first A321neoAirbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[3]easyJet airline factseasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
The orderbook increasingly favours the A321neo. The type accounted for 162 of 287 firm orders at 31 March 2026, compared with 22 aircraft then in service.[1]Half-year results for the six months ended 31 March 2026easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Ownership and leasing
At 31 March 2026, easyJet owned 208 aircraft and leased 148, equivalent to 58 and 42 per cent of the fleet. Within the A320neo-family fleet, 86 per cent was owned and 14 per cent leased. This distinction matters because a leased aircraft can be returned or transferred without being retired from aviation service.[1]Half-year results for the six months ended 31 March 2026easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
The group uses sale-and-leaseback transactions and conventional operating leases alongside direct ownership. Fleet planning therefore separates physical aircraft deliveries and retirements from financing changes.[8]Annual Report and Accounts 2025easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Orders and fleet development
In December 2023 easyJet confirmed an order for 157 additional aircraft: 56 A320neos and 101 A321neos. It also converted 35 positions from A320neo to A321neo. The agreement included 100 purchase rights and conversion flexibility between the two variants.[9]easyJet orders a further 157 A320neo-family aircraftAirbus · aircraft.airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[6]Proposed purchase of new aircraft and purchase rightseasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
At 31 March 2026, the firm orderbook contained 125 A320neos and 162 A321neos for delivery through the 2034 financial year. The fleet plan then projected 370 aircraft at the end of FY2026, 381 in FY2027 and 389 in FY2028, with deliveries partly offset by 3, 19 and 35 retirements respectively. These are planning figures rather than guaranteed year-end fleet counts.[1]Half-year results for the six months ended 31 March 2026easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
During the six months to March 2026, easyJet acquired three A321neos and retired three A319s. The average aircraft age was 11.3 years and average gauge was 181.9 seats, illustrating the gradual shift towards larger variants.[1]Half-year results for the six months ended 31 March 2026easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Neo cabin programme
The 100th neo-family aircraft, delivered at Hamburg in June 2026, was easyJet's first aircraft with the Airbus Airspace cabin. easyJet said all future neo deliveries would use the cabin and that 81 existing neo aircraft would be retrofitted. The programme includes revised overhead bins, lighting and cabin fittings; it does not create a separate aircraft variant.[2]easyJet marks its 100th neo deliveryeasyJet · easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Operators, registrations and allocation
Aircraft carrying easyJet colours are divided among three certificated operators. The operating company, registration and regulatory state must be recorded separately from the common brand.[10]Aeroplane operators and ICAO designatorsICAO · icao.int · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[11]AOC holders listUK Civil Aviation Authority · caa.co.uk · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[12]Austro Control grants easyJet an AOCAustro Control · austrocontrol.at · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[13]List of AOC holders with complex aeroplanesSwiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation · bazl.admin.ch · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
| Operating airline | State of registry | Registration prefix | ICAO designator | Regulatory context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| easyJet UK | United Kingdom | G- | EZY | UK CAA AOC 2448; authorised for A319, A320 and A321 aircraft |
| easyJet Europe | Austria | OE- | EJU | Austrian AOC established in 2017 for the EU operation |
| easyJet Switzerland | Switzerland | HB- | EZS | Swiss AOC CH.AOC.1018 |
Aircraft may move between group operators and national registers. A registration is therefore not permanently synonymous with a particular base or route, and current allocation should be verified with the relevant national aircraft register and a recent operator record. The three operator rosters should not be summed blindly when their update dates or treatment of leased and transferring aircraft differ.
Historical fleet
easyJet began operations with leased Boeing 737s and subsequently operated 737-300 and 737-700 aircraft. The first Airbus A319 arrived in 2003, and the last easyJet Boeing service operated in 2011, completing the move to an Airbus single-family fleet.[4]Our journeyeasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[8]Annual Report and Accounts 2025easyJet plc · s203.q4cdn.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
Aircraft inherited or temporarily used through acquisitions and short-term operating arrangements require care in historical fleet records. An aircraft painted for or flying on behalf of easyJet was not necessarily registered to the same group airline, while aircraft associated with Go Fly or GB Airways may pre-date their integration. Individual-airframe histories should identify the legal operator, dates and source rather than infer ownership from branding.[14]Half-year 2008 results statementeasyJet plc · corporate.easyjet.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details
