This latest order from NAC, counted in the 2019 order-book, is a huge endorsement and affirms the strong market demand for the state of the art, fuel efficient A220 Family.
“NAC’s order for the A220 shows this aircraft is just as relevant in the regional world as it is in the mainline one,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer. “We are delighted to work with NAC going forward, we thank them for their confidence and congratulate them on their new offices in Limerick.”
