GoAir received its first Airbus A320neo aircraft today. "With the induction of the first of our 72 Airbus A320neo aircraft on order, we have reached a fleet strength of 20 aircraft. With this expansion, we will be able to strengthen our domestic network and will also be available to fly on international routes," GoAir chief executive officer Wolfgang Prock Schauer said in a statement.

GoAir's A320neo planes will have 186 seats while its existing fleet of A320s has 180 seats. Rival IndiGo has opted for 180 seat configuration for its Airbus A320neo. GoAir's A320neo aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney's geared turbofan engines which promises 15 per cent fuel savings.
