Paris Air Show 2023: Qantas Orders Nine Airbus A220s

At the ongoing Paris Air Show, Airbus has been super busying gulping orders from around the world. Besides bagging deals from India’s Indigo, Air Mauritius and Saudi Arabia’s flynas, the European aircraft manufacturer has also inked an agreement with Qantas. It’s an incremental order to supply nine A220-300 units to the Australian carrier, bringing the total order count for the single-aisle aircraft to 29. Qantas will take delivery of the first A220 by the end of the year, which will serve the airliner’s domestic routes. Qantas initially shortlisted the said planes as part of its fleet refreshment drive announcement last May, including orders for the A321XLR and A350-1000.
