The engines that are designated CFM56-5B will give the airline a 1% saving on fuel consumption and reduce the quantity of CO2 produced by 200 tons for every aircraft.
The CEO of Easyjet Andy Harrison has embraced the new engines and said that they would assist them in reaching their target of greener operations.
