Airbus officials met late last month to finalize details on the A320 New Engine Option (NEO), with much of the focus on having the required engineering resources. But not all issues were resolved, so deliberations are still underway.

However, Gallois says the plan remains to make a decision before year-end; some Airbus officials wanted to request board approval this month. “Airbus is taking its time” to properly assess its resources and ensure it has the engineering capacity to do the NEO program without adversely affecting other developments, Gallois says while visiting Airbus’ Filton site for the opening of the A350 landing gear test building.
