aircraft that will be operated by the airline.
The
A220 is the only aircraft purpose-built for the 100-150 seat market and brings

in its category. 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
