Taiwanese carrier TransAsia Airways has placed a firm order for six Airbus A321neos.

The airline, which placed the order during the Paris air show, already operates five A321s and a pair of A320s and has a further six sharklet-equipped A321s on delivery. An engine selection for the new aircraft will follow shortly.

TransAsia plans to use the aircraft to meet growing demand on regional services, especially on direct routes between Taiwan and mainland China.
