Air Canada buying 15 more Airbus A220 jets
Air Canada confirmed options for 15 more Airbus A220-300 aircraft.
The firm orders bring to 60 the total number of the Canadian-built aircraft it will acquire for its fleet.
“The A220 has become a mainstay of our narrowbody fleet, and its performance and passenger comfort are enabling us to compete effectively in the North American market,” said Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive of Air Canada.
“This third re-order for the A220 in 2022 confirms the strong confidence that airlines worldwide have for this game-changing aircraft,” said Benoît Schultz, CEO, Airbus Canada .
Air Canada placed its initial order for the A220, then known as the Bombardier C Series, in 2016, with a firm order for 45 aircraft and 30 options.
The first A220 entered service for Air Canada in January 2020 and the airline currently operates a fleet of 31 A220s, with two more deliveries expected in 2022.
Six more will be delivered in each of 2024 and 2025, with the 15 additional aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2026.
All of Air Canada’s A220s are built in Mirabel, Quebec.
The A220-300 seats 137 passengers in a Business and Economy configuration.
