EasyJet to invest in software to cut fuel costs, noise levels across A320 fleet

Low-cost airline easyJet will invest in the latest aircraft software from Airbus aimed at cutting costs on jet fuel and reducing noise impact on the ground.

The fleet-wide introduction was announced on September 26, 2022, and will see the low-cost carrier upgrade its A320 Family fleet with Airbus’ Descent Profile Optimisation (DPO) and the Continuous Descent Approach (CDA). The software will be installed as part of a Flight Management System (FMS) upgrade by the end of 2023.
