On 24 November 2015, Airbus A320neo (version with Pratt & Whitney engines) received the standard certification from European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The certified aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney Pure Power PW1100G-JM engines.

This certification validates the aircraft and opens the way for the first delivery. A320neo (new engine option) has successfully completed a rigorous certification program, during which all aircraft systems have been tested, and limits have been pushed beyond normal use. The standard certificate attests that the A320neo aircraft satisfies and satisfies all the airworthiness criteria successfully.

3 aircraft were used for the certification program, all accumulating 1070 flight hours into approximately 350 flights. Of the total flight hours accumulated, 300 were registered by the same aircraft in similar regime operations within an airline.
