Airbus’ continued success, as they also logged 24 orders for the newly introduced A350F Freighter version.
The year included new operators like Starlux, Air Greenland, and Condor to the A330neo family. Embodying Airbus’s vision for sustainable aviation, the latest A330neo variant showcased significant reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Also, in 2022, Airbus’ delivery of the 220th A220 – an A220-300 – to JetBlue was another feather in its cap. From advanced aerodynamics to cutting-edge technology, the A220 continues progressing in commercial aviation.
