The aircraft procurement process, designated Project Eagle, was a three-way contest between the Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737 MAX and Bombardier CS300. Airbus was the winner, with a contract announcement in June 2013 for 100 A320neos plus a further 100 purchase rights to be exercised by 2025. In November 2015,30 A320neos were added, the ACF variant, which features a modified door layout that provides for up to 240 seats. At the end of 2017, outstanding orders were for 100 A320neo and 30 A321 neo ACF aircraft.
