The Air France–IQela le-KLM, lisayine iMemorandam yokuQondana (i-MoU) yama-60 Airbus Inqwelomoya ye-A220-300 ukuze iphucule iinqwelo zayo. Ngokufumana eyona nqwelo-moya isebenzayo kunye nethekhinoloji ehamba phambili yendlela enye, inqwelomoya iya kuxhamla ekuncipheni okukhulu kokutshiswa kwamafutha kunye nokukhutshwa kweCO2. Ezi A220s zenzelwe ukuba ziqhutywe yi-Air France.
“Ukufunyanwa kwezi A220-300s zintsha kraca kulungelelana ngokugqibeleleyo ne-Air France–KLM yenkqubo yokuphucula izithuthi zala maxesha kunye nesicwangciso sokulungelelanisa” utshilo uBenjamin Smith, iCEO yeAir France-KLM Group. “Le nqwelo-moya ibonisa ukusebenza kakuhle kunye noqoqosho kwaye isenza ukuba siphucule ngakumbi indawo esisingqongileyo ngenxa ye-A220 yokusetyenziswa kwamafutha okuphantsi kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo. Ikwalungelelaniswe ngokugqibeleleyo kwinethiwekhi yethu yasekhaya neyaseYurophu kwaye iya kwenza i-Air France isebenze ngokufanelekileyo kwiindlela zayo ezimfutshane neziphakathi. "
"Kuliwonga kwi-Airbus ukuba i-Air France, umthengi oxabisa ixesha elide, uye wavuma ilungu lethu losapho lwamva nje, i-A220, ngezicwangciso zayo zokuhlaziya iinqanawa.", utshilo uGuillaume Faury, iGosa eliLawulayo le-Airbus. “Sizibophelele ekuxhaseni i-Air France nge-A220 yethu ngokuzisa itekhnoloji yamva nje, amanqanaba okusebenza, kunye nezibonelelo zokusingqongileyo. Siyavuya ukuqalisa kobu budlelwane kwaye sijonge phambili ekuboneni i-A220 ibhabha ngemibala ye-Air France. "
I-A220 kuphela kwenjongo yenqwelomoya eyenzelwe i-100-150 yemarike yezihlalo; ihambisa ukusebenza ngokungafunekiyo kwamafutha kunye nokuthuthuzelwa kwabahambi ngeenqwelomoya kwinqwelomoya enye. I-A220 idibanisa i-aerodynamics ye-state-of-the-art, izixhobo eziphambili kunye ne-PW1500G ye-PW20G ye-injini ye-turbofan yokubonelela ubuncinci iipesenti ezingama-220 zokutshisa amafutha kwisitulo ngasinye xa kuthelekiswa neenqwelo moya zangaphambili. I-AXNUMX inika intsebenzo yenqwelomoya enye enkulu.
I-Air France ngoku isebenza ngeenqwelomoya ze-144 Airbus.
Ngencwadi yoku-odola yeenqwelomoya ezingama-551 ukusuka ekupheleni kukaJuni ka-2019, i-A220 inazo zonke iziqinisekiso zokuphumelela isabelo sengonyama kwintengiso yeenqwelomoya ezizitulo ezili-100 ukuya kwezili-150, eziqikelelwa ukuba zimele iinqwelomoya ezingama-7,000 kule minyaka ingama-20 izayo.
