There would have been no way that they would have got rid of the 20 odd fleet of A320 family aircraft to order a whole new fleet of NEO aircraft for a subsidiary that is still relatively young and still proving its worth and profitability.

However, BAEF has been doing well and if it continues to do so will potentially see an order for some NEO’s eventually or perhaps see some NEO’s make their way down from LHR, which fits the low-cost model that they operate on.
