  "account": "Airbus has secured a substantial order for 75 A320neo jets from Aviation Capital Group (ACG), a leasing company anticipating increased demand for fuel-efficient aircraft. This brings ACG's Airbus fleet to 190 planes, following a recent order for 50 Boeing 737 MAX jets.\n\nACG's chief executive, Thomas Baker, expressed confidence in the long-term future of air travel, stating that placing the largest order in their 40-year history signifies a strong commitment. The total list price for the 75 A320neo planes is nearly US$12 billion, though aircraft makers typically offer discounts with large orders.\n\nThe A320neo is 20% more fuel efficient than its predecessor, the A320, making it one of the most popular single-aisle passenger planes globally. Demand for aircraft operating leases is anticipated to continue rising as global passenger traffic expands and airlines accelerate the replacement of older fleets with newer, more efficient aircraft, according to Tokyo Century, ACG's parent company.",
