Lufthansa to power fleets of A321s with V2500 SelectOne

Choosing the latest V2500 SelectOne configuration will enable Lufthansa to drive down its operating costs. Lufthansa has extensive experience of operating the V2500. The airline is celebrating 15 years of V2500 operation, after the first IAE-powered A321 entered service on 27-Jan-94. Currently there are 33 aircraft equipped with the V2500 flying in Lufthansa colors.

Nico Buchholz, Senior Vice President, Corporate Fleet Planning at Lufthansa said: “We know that the V2500 is an excellent powerplant option for the A321, and with the additional benefits generated with the latest V2500 SelectOne™ standard, we can achieve a significant reduction in our operating costs. In the current economic environment, this is a major advantage for us.”

IAE President and CEO, Jon Beatty added: “We’ve maintained an excellent relationship with Lufthansa over their years of V2500 operation. Follow-on orders like this are always very pleasing as they demonstrate satisfaction with our product and our people. With the introduction of V2500 SelectOne™ to its fleet, Lufthansa benefits from the latest technology advances that we have selected because they make a real difference to our customers.”
