IAG (International Airlines Group – the owner of British Airways, Iberia and Vueling) have announced they are to place an order for Airbus A320 aircraft.

The order is split into four parts with an initial order for the following:
- 30 Airbus A320ceo (current engine option)
- 32 Airbus A320neo (new engine option)
Further more:
- Options on the first set for another 58 aircraft
- Future positioning options for another 100 aircraft.
If the full order comes to pass, that’s one heck of a lot of Airbus A320s for the group.
The first 110 aircraft air initially destined for IAG’s low-cost arm – Vueling, with the other 100 aircraft to be used in any part of IAG – be it BA, Iberia or Vueling.
The aircraft destined for Vueling will be used to replace some existing aircraft, and to boost the fleet to provide new routes as needed.
It’s a major boost to Vueling who now are 90.51% owned by IAG Group – and a chance for IAG to grow its low-cost brand. How this will impact Iberia and BA will play out over the coming months…
To make a word plural in english, just add an s: cat/cats. A320/A320s. There are many online guides showing when it is appropriate to use apostrophes e.g. to denote a dropped letter or ownership.
Sorry to be retentive but writers (no apostrophe!),yes even online, should know basic grammar.
Pls correct the errors and delete this comment. Thanks
