Air France readies for A220 delivery

Air France is continuing to renew its fleet. At the end of September, the airline will take delivery of the first of the 60 Airbus A220-300s it has ordered to replace its Airbus A318s and A319s on the short and medium-haul network. The first Airbus A220 designed for Air France recently left the Airbus paint shop in Mirabel, near Montreal. It sports the new Air France colours and notably features the winged seahorse, the airline’s historical symbol embodying its rich history, at the front of the fuselage. As it is made with lighter composite materials, the Airbus A220 uses 20% less fuel than previous generation aircraft, and has a 34% reduced noise footprint. It will play a decisive role in achieving Air France's sustainable development objectives, including a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions in absolute terms on the domestic network from Paris Orly and on inter-regional routes by 2024, and a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions per passenger/km by 2030. Before joining Paris to carry Air France customers, the aircraft will undergo a series of ground and in-flight tests. On its arrival, it will be used for more than a month to train the airline's flight crews, some of whom began the so-called "type rating" process last summer. As with every new type of aircraft entering the fleet, the company has set up two core groups, one made up of pilots and the other of flight attendants. These already qualified crew members will then be responsible for training their colleagues within the framework of in-house programmes validated by the authorities. Close to 700 Air France pilots will eventually be qualified on this aircraft. Two A220 door models have been installed at the Air France Crew Academy at Paray Vieille-Poste, near Paris Orly, to train some 2.500 flight attendants. The Air France Airbus A220 will be able to welcome 148 passengers in a 3-2 cabin configuration. Each seat will be equipped with type A and type C USB ports and all passengers will enjoy Wi-Fi access from their personal devices.

NEWS FLASH

Split plans to commence work on its highly anticipated city rail project next month, which will eventually link its port, the largest in Croatia, with its airport. "Our goal is to connect the ferry port with the airport. We are aware that traffic has doubled in the past ten years. We are working on the project connecting the city to the airport and we hope to begin the design and realisation process in next few years. It will involve the construction of a seven to nine kilometre railway", Split's Deputy Mayor, Nino Vela, said. Split Airport is currently building its new passenger terminal which is scheduled to open this summer.

Prije će Dunav uzvodno poteći nego će se taj željeznička linija izgraditi.
