Green Africa Airways, Nigeria’s Lagos-based airline, has made an order for 50 A220-300 aircraft, one of the major orders to be placed globally for the A220 programme.

Airbus chief commercial officer, Christian Scherer, speaking from the Singapore Airshow (#SGAirshow2020), said: “We are excited about the Green Africa project, its legitimate ambition and its professionalism, evidenced by their most discerning choice for their operating assets. The unique characteristics of the A220 will allow the airline to unlock destinations and route pairs that previously would have been considered non-viable. We look forward to our partnership with Green Africa and to accompany their development with the most efficient aircraft in its class.”

The A220 is the only aircraft purpose-built for the 100-150 seat market and has accumulated 658 orders as of January 2020.

The A220 brings together state-of-the-art aerodynamics, advanced materials and Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation PW1500G geared turbofan engines to offer at least 20% lower fuel burn per seat compared to previous generation aircraft, along with significantly lower emissions and a reduced noise footprint.
