Our Fleet
The Aero Lloyd Virtual fleet consists exclusively of modern Airbus A320 family aircraft. With twelve airframes split equally between the A320 and the larger A321, we serve our short- and medium-haul network from our hub in Frankfurt across Europe and the Canary Islands.
Airbus A320
The Airbus A320 is the backbone of our fleet. With six aircraft in service, it operates the majority of our daily rotations from Frankfurt — from short hops to Hamburg and Edinburgh to leisure routes across the Mediterranean and the Iberian Peninsula.
Five of our A320 are equipped with CFM56 engines and Sharklets. The Sharklet retrofit improves fuel efficiency compared to the older wingtip fence configuration, a saving that compounds noticeably on longer legs. The sixth airframe is powered by IAE V2500 engines with classic wingtip fences, giving us operational experience across both engine families.
Cabin layout is configured for 180 passengers in a single-class economy arrangement. At typical load factors, the A320 burns between 2.0 and 2.5 litres of kerosene per passenger per 100 km — performance figures that place it among the most efficient narrow-body aircraft of its generation.

Airbus A321
The Airbus A321 extends our reach into the Atlantic. With six airframes in our fleet, the A321 operates our longer leisure routes to the Canary Islands and Madeira, as well as high-demand domestic and intra-European services where the additional capacity is needed.
Five of our A321 carry CFM56 engines with Sharklets. The sixth airframe is powered by IAE V2500 engines with wingtip fences. Despite the A321’s higher gross weight, fuel burn per passenger remains competitive with the A320 thanks to the increased cabin density.
The increased maximum take-off weight of 93.5 tonnes allows us to operate at full payload to destinations beyond four hours flight time. Note that the A321’s range is slightly shorter than the A320’s at approximately 5,950 km — the trade-off for carrying significantly more passengers and cargo on the same airframe family.
