Makes Last-Minute Money and Adds Aviation Capital Group Support to ESG Fund Initiative
Airbus has capped off 2021 with a signed memorandum of understanding for 20 A220 aircraft, and a firm contract for 40 of their A320neo aircraft. The buyer is a Tokyo Century Corp subsidiary, Aviation Capital Group, a global full-service lessor company. The company now supports the Airbus Environmental, Social, and Governance fund initiative to contribute to sustainable aviation projects. The newest specification of the A220 has impressed the Aviation Capital Group, bringing the latest Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engines, a 50% smaller noise footprint, and an estimated 25% reduction in fuel burn compared to previous generation offerings.
