Ua pūlima ʻo Airbus i kahi ʻaelike kūʻai me Azorra no iwakāluakūmālua mau mokulele A220 Family me nā mokulele A220-300 he iwakālua a me ʻelua mokulele ACJ TwoTwenty. ʻO Azorra kahi mokulele ʻo Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, i hoʻokumu ʻia i nā mokulele mokulele i kālele ʻia ma luna o ka mokulele hoʻokele, āpana a me waena o ka nui (“crossover”).

ʻAzorraʻO ke kūʻai ʻana ʻo ia ka hōʻoia hou loa no ka mokulele A220 Family a hōʻoia hou i ka koi ikaika o ka mākeke Airbus' mea hou loa o ka mokulele hookahi.

"Ua kūpono ka A220 no ʻAzorra'o ka ulu ana o ka waihona. Hauʻoli mākou e launa pū me Airbus ma kēia mokulele kaulana, hanauna hou. Manaʻo mākou i ka hāʻawi ʻana i kāna ʻoihana waiwai maikaʻi a me ka maikaʻi o ke kaiapuni i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku, "wahi a John Evans, Luna Nui o ʻAzorra. “ʻOliʻoli nō hoʻi mākou i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻonui i ka ʻoihana hoʻolimalima mokulele hoʻokele o Azorra me ka ACJ TwoTwenty hou. ʻAzorra'O ka hui hou 'ana me Airbus a me ka mana kū'oko'a e hā'awi aku i nā ho'oponopono ho'ololi 'auwa'a no nā mokulele a me nā ho'olimalima mokulele ho'okele i nā mea kū'ai mokulele 'oihana he mau mea 'oko'a nui e lawe mai i ka waiwai nui i kā mākou mea kū'ai."

“Hoʻokipa maikaʻi mākou ʻAzorra e like me ka mea hou Airbus hoa a aloha i kēia hoʻoholo a kekahi mea pāʻani kaulana i ka lewa mokulele kūloko. Ua ʻike mākou i kahi makemake mākeke koʻikoʻi no ka ʻohana A220 mai kahi kumu kūʻai e ulu ana a ʻano like ʻole. ʻO ka hoʻohui ʻana o ka hiki o Azorra i ka ʻāpana mokulele mokulele he mea hōʻoia maikaʻi ʻia no ka versatility A220, "wahi a Christian Scherer, Luna Nui ʻo Airbus a me ke poʻo o Airbus International. "E hoʻonui kēia ʻaelike i ka hoʻolālā kōpili o Azorra no ka hoʻopukapuka kālā ʻana i nā mokulele ʻenehana ʻoluʻolu a me ka ʻenehana hou i kēia māhele ʻoiai e hiki ai iā mākou ke hāʻawi i nā hāʻina ʻohana A220 i kahi ākea ākea o nā mokulele," wahi āna.

ʻO ka A220 wale nō ka mokulele i hana ʻia no ka mākeke noho 100-150 a hoʻohui pū i nā aerodynamics hou loa, nā mea holomua a me nā ʻenekini turbofan PW1500G hou loa o Pratt & Whitney. E hōʻike ana i ka 50% ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a hiki i ka 25% haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa wahie no kēlā me kēia noho i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mokulele o mua, a ma kahi o 50% haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa NOx ma mua o nā kūlana ʻoihana, ʻo ka A220 he mokulele maikaʻi loa no nā wahi a me nā ala lōʻihi. .

ʻO ka ACJ TwoTwenty kahi manaʻo waiwai hou a kūʻokoʻa i nā mea kūʻai mokulele mokulele. Hoʻohui kēia pāʻani hoʻololi mokulele i ka laulā intercontinental e lele ma luna o 12 mau hola lele me kahi wahi pilikino like ʻole (73m²/785 ft² o ka papahele o ka papahele) e hāʻawi ana i ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻike ʻole no nā poʻe kaʻa. Hoʻolako ʻia me kahi hale liʻiliʻi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, kūpono kēia mokulele piha no nā mea hoʻohana pilikino a me nā mea hoʻohana jet ʻoihana.

Ma ka hopena o Dekemaba 2021, ua hōʻiliʻili ka A220 i nā kauoha 668 mai nā mea kūʻai aku 25. I kēia lā, 13 mau mokulele e holo ana ma kahi o 190 mau mokulele ma ʻehā mau ʻāina.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

“This agreement will enhance Azorra's portfolio strategy of investing in the most comfortable and modern technology aircraft in this segment while it will also enable us to offer A220 Family solutions to an increasingly wider spectrum of airlines”, he added.
Featuring a 50% reduced noise footprint and up to 25% lower fuel burn per seat compared to previous generation aircraft, as well as around 50% lower NOx emissions than industry standards, the A220 is a great aircraft for regional as well as long distance routes.
The addition of Azorra's capabilities in the regional airline segment is a welcome endorsement for the A220 versatility,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International.
