easyJet, the low-cost carrier, and CFM International celebrated delivery of the carrier's first A319 plane powered by CFM56-5B Tech Insertion engines.

The delivery of A319 aircraft is part of the ambition of the low fares carrier to turn out to be one of the most environmentally-efficient airlines in the world. This is one of those steps by the airlines that can inspire more airlines to buy planes that more efficient and offer help to the concept of green travel.

In a statement, it said that the new engines will cut mono-nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by twenty-five per cent and bring extensive progress in terms of fuel consumption, maintenance costs and carbon dioxide emissions. So, the air carrier is allowing its passengers to make their travel carbon guilt-free, which is making many passengers discouraged about the future of air travel.

The new CFM56 engines are produced by CFM International (CFM)-a fifty-fifty joint establishment between Snecma (SAFRAN Group) and General Electric Company.

The London Luton airport-based low cost carrier has been a CFM operator since 1995.

In the year 1997, the budget carrier ordered twelve CFM56-3-powered Boeing 737 aircrafts.

Later, in 1998, the carrier enhanced its fleet of planes with an order for fifteen CFM56-7B-powered Boeing 737-700 flying machines and another seventeen planes in the year 2000.

The carrier placed one of the biggest ever single orders for aircrafts when it picked up the CFM56-5B to power 120 Airbus A319 flying machines.
