On Wednesday (February 4, 2026), from the Singapore Airshow, Airbus announced that Tigerair Taiwan has signed a purchase agreement with Airbus for four A321neo aircraft, marking the airline’s first order for the type.  The new aircraft will support the airline’s network expansion while delivering improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to previous generation aircraft.  Currently, Tigerair Taiwan operates a fleet of 17 A320 Family aircraft, including nine A320ceos and eight A320neos.  With the new A321neos, Tigerair will benefit from greater commonality across the A320 Family, reducing training, maintenance and operating costs.


In Wednesday’s announcement, Tiger Taiwan’s Chairperson, Joyce Huang, said,


“The purchase of A321neo aircraft is a cornerstone of our ‘third-generation’ fleet expansion, designed to maximise operational efficiency as we scale for regional dominance.  Configured with 232 seats, the A321neo allows us to increase capacity on our high-demand ‘golden routes’ and accelerate network expansion.  By serving more passengers across more destinations with a lower cost per seat, this investment reinforces our position as Taiwan’s leading LCC.  Furthermore, it advances our journey toward a younger, more fuel-efficient fleet that meets both our commercial and ESG targets.”


Also commenting on the new A321neo order, Airbus’ EVP Sales – Commercial Aircraft, Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, said,


“We are pleased to see Tigerair Taiwan reaffirm its confidence in Airbus as it takes another step in its fleet growth.  The addition of the A321neo will complement its existing A320 fleet.  The A321neo is the ideal platform for Tigerair Taiwan to capture growing demand while maintaining its commitment to cost-effective operations.”


The largest member of the best-selling Airbus A320neo Family, the A321neo offers segment-leading operating economics and extended range, enabling airlines to serve regional and medium-haul routes with greater flexibility.  Compared with previous-generation aircraft, the A321neo delivers a reduction in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions of at least 20 percent.  To date, A320neo Family has received more than 10,000 orders from over 130 customers worldwide.  All Airbus aircraft are capable of operating with up to 50 percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) today, with a target to enable 100 percent SAF capability by 2030.
