Ua kūʻai aku ʻo Breeze Airways i ke keʻena nui ma Cottonwood Heights, Utah, i ke kūʻai ʻana aku i 10 mau mokulele A220-300 hou aʻe, e hoʻonui ana i kā lākou kauoha i hoʻopaʻa ʻia no kēia mokulele mokulele i 90. mea kūʻai nui loa o ka honua no ka A220.
Wahi a Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, EVP Sales, Commercial Aircraft, Airbus, ʻo ka A220 hiki ke hoʻokō maikaʻi loa i lilo ia i mokulele kūpono no Nā Airway Breeze e hoʻokō i kāna pahuhopu o ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā huakaʻi hele ʻole ma nā ala i nānā ʻole ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Hāʻawi ka mokulele i ka hana kūpono a me kahi ʻike huakaʻi kūʻokoʻa, ʻoiai e mālama ana i ka wāwae kalapona liʻiliʻi ma waena o nā mokulele liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ma ka honua. Hoʻohui ʻia, hoʻemi ʻia ka haʻalulu leo ma nā wahi āna e lawelawe ai.
ʻAʻole hāʻawi wale ka mokulele i kahi ʻike cabin maikaʻi akā kōkua pū kekahi i ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā kumukūʻai hana mokulele a me ka hopena o ke kaiapuni. Loaʻa iā ia kahi ākea lele ʻole a hiki i 3,600 mau mile moana a i ʻole 6,700 mau kilomita. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mokulele o mua, ʻo ka A220 hāʻawi 25% haʻahaʻa wahie puhi a me CO2 emissions no ka noho. Hoʻolālā ʻia ia no ka mākeke noho 100-150, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka aerodynamics, nā mea holomua, a me nā mīkini GTF hou loa o Pratt & Whitney. Me ka A220, hiki i nā mea kūʻai ke hauʻoli i ka 50% i hoʻemi ʻia ka leo wāwae i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻano mokulele mokulele kahiko, a me ka 40% haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa NOx ma mua o nā kūlana ʻoihana.
ʻO ka A220, e like me nā mokulele Airbus ʻē aʻe, hiki i kēia manawa ke hoʻohana i ka 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Hoʻolālā ʻo Airbus e hiki i kāna mau mokulele ke holo me ka 100% SAF e 2030.

ʻOi aku ma mua o 300 mau A220 i hāʻawi ʻia i 20 mau mokulele ma nā ʻāina ʻelima, me Oceania. Hāʻawi kēia mokulele i ka maʻalahi o ka hana no nā ala āpau a me nā ala lōʻihi. ʻOi aku ma mua o 100 miliona mau mea kaʻa i lele ma ka A220, e hana nei i kēia manawa ma luna o 1,350 mau ala a lawelawe ʻoi aku ma mua o 400 mau wahi a puni ka honua. Ma Ianuali 2024, ma kahi o 30 mau mea kūʻai aku ua kau i nā kauoha no nā mokulele 900 A220, e hoʻoikaika ana i kona kūlana ma ke ʻano he mea pāʻani alakaʻi i ka mākeke liʻiliʻi.
