Airbus Clinches Biggest Order Yet for A220 Model With AirAsia Deal

Dow Jones05-07

By Paul Vieira

OTTAWA--Airbus said Wednesday that Malaysia-based AirAsia has ordered 150 A220-300 aircraft, representing the largest single firm order for the narrow-body, single-aisle plane.

Airbus builds the plane in Mirabel, Quebec, just outside of Montreal, after the company took control of Bombardier's CSeries in 2017. The A220-300 has up to 160 seats and can fly 4,100 miles. Airbus has highlighted the plane's wider seats, bigger windows and expanded overhead space.

With the AirAsia order, Airbus said there are now over 1,000 firm orders for the A220. At the end of March, 501 A220s had been delivered to 25 operators world-wide.

Tony Fernandes, co-founder of AirAsia, said the carrier opted for Airbus over Embraer, and it took about a year for the $19 billion deal to come together.

"This A220 will take us to another level," said Fernandes, who was in Mirabel for the formal announcement.

A spokeswoman for Airbus didn't respond to request for comment on total value of the order.

Airbus owns 75% of Airbus Canada, which makes the A220, while the province of Quebec holds the remaining 25% stake.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, also at the event, said the AirAsia order represents a turning point for Quebec's aerospace sector.
