  "account": "Airbus has secured a substantial order of 75 A320neo planes from Aviation Capital Group (ACG), a leasing company anticipating increased demand for fuel-efficient aircraft. This brings ACG's Airbus fleet to a total of 190 planes. The order marks the largest in the company's nearly 40-year history, according to Airbus. ACG's CEO Thomas Baker expressed confidence in the long-term future of air travel.\n\nThe 75 A320neo planes have a combined list price of nearly $12 billion, though discounts are typically given on large orders. The A320neo model is 20% more fuel-efficient than its predecessor, the A320, which is one of the world's most widely used single-aisle passenger jets. According to ACG's parent company Tokyo Century, a Japanese leasing firm, global passenger traffic growth and airlines accelerating the replacement of their existing fleets with modern aircraft are expected to continue driving demand for aircraft operating leases.",
