Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that the 8,000th A320 family aircraft to be produced (MSN8000), a Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-powered A320neo (B-1068), was delivered on 1 February to Air China. The aircraft was delivered from Airbus’s Chinese assembly line in Tianjin. This aircraft had flown 10 days earlier on 22 January .

However Airbus’s monthly delivery summary shows that the 8,000th A320 family delivery in fact took place during the last day of January when a total of four A320 family aircraft were delivered to four airlines, including Air India (A320neo leased from CIT), Lion Air/Batik Air (A320), Spirit Airlines (A320) and Virgin America (A321neo leased from GECAS).

The first-ever A320 delivery – a CFM International CFM56-powered A320-100 – was made to Air France in March 1988.

As of 31 January, total A320 family orders stood at 14,135 aircraft. A320 family aircraft are assembled on four lines worldwide – Toulouse and Hamburg in Europe, Mobile in the USA and Tianjin in China.

Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that the majority (36%) of the 8,000 deliveries have been made to operators in the Asia-Pacific region .
