The A320neo ("new engine option") is the re-engined version of the A320, offering a choice of CFM LEAP-1A or Pratt & Whitney geared-turbofan engines and wingtip "sharklets".

The A320 family overtook the 737 as the best-selling airliner family, and SriLankan Airlines flies the A320neo on regional routes.
