Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for 20 A220 Family
aircraft (formerly the Bombardier C Series).
The A220, designed for the 100-150 seat market,
is powered by Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation PW1500G geared
turbofan engines.
The agreement represents the first
major order for the A220 from a leading regional lessor confirming
the versatility of the aircraft to support mainline and regional
airline network expansion.
The aircraft has received widespread
praise from passengers and airline bosses including the
CEO of Air Baltic and the CEO of Korean Air.
The A220, designed for the 100-150 seat market,
is powered by Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation PW1500G geared
turbofan engines.
From H2 2020, the maximum take-off weight (MTOW)
of A220 aircraft will increase by 2,268 kg (2.3 metric tonnes),
increasing the respective maximum range capabilities to 3,350 nm
for the A220-300 and 3,400 nm for the A220-100, some 450 nm more
than currently advertised.
The current basic MTOW is 60.8 t for the
A220-100 and 67.6 t for the A220-300. With the new MTOW increase
of 2.3 t, the respective aircraft’s MTOW will be brought up at
63.1 t for the A220-100 and 69.9 for the A220-300.
