AirAsia has taken delivery of the first A320neo assembled at the Airbus Final Assembly Line Asia (FALA) at a dedicated ceremony in Tianjin, China. The aircraft, powered by CFM LEAP-1A engines, seats 186 passengers and is equipped with the innovative Space-Flex cabin. 

AirAsia is the largest airline customer of the A320 Family with orders for 578 aircraft. These include 404 A320neo Family aircraft. The aircraft is the 13^th A320neo that the airline has received since it took delivery of its first A320neo last year.

The FALA in Tianjin, inaugurated in 2008, became the third single-aisle aircraft final assembly line location of Airbus worldwide, following Toulouse and Hamburg. It was also the first Airbus Final Assembly Line outside Europe; it has since been joined by the Airbus facility in Mobile, Alabama. Today, some 340 aircraft have been assembled and delivered from Tianjin.

Asia-Pacific carriers have ordered more than 1,600 A320neo/A321neo aircraft.

Airbus recently inaugurated its A330 Completion and Delivery Centre (C&DC) located at the same site in Tianjin.
