A recent trend in international air travel reveals a shift towards smaller planes for longer routes, as highlighted by Taylor Rains at Business Insider. Last year, attention was drawn to the Airbus A321neo, which has gained popularity across the Atlantic. This trend is supported by data from Cirium, showing a 50% increase in narrow-body international flights from 2019 to 2025. Airlines are capitalizing on this with lower ticket prices and more efficient boarding processes. AEGEAN Airlines has recently ordered more A321neo planes, which will soon dominate their fleet.
This week at Business Insider, Taylor Rains explored a growing trend in international travel: airlines opting for smaller planes for longer routes.
Business Insider goes on to cite data from Cirium, showing that narrow-body international flights increased by 50% from 2019 to 2025.
Airlines are gravitating towards narrower planes for reasons like offering lower-priced tickets and streamlining passenger boarding.
In announcing AEGEAN's latest order with Airbus, CEO Dimitris Gerogiannis indicated the A321neo series will soon comprise two-thirds of their fleet.
