August 30 (SeeNews) - Flag carrier Bulgaria Air said it has taken delivery of the second of a fleet of seven new lower-emission A220 aircraft, after the first one arrived from manufacturer Airbus in June and is already in service.
Another new A220-300 aircraft is expected to be delivered by the end of the year, Bulgaria Air said in a press release last week.
The second A220-300 aircraft flew in on August 24 from Airbus' engineering and assembly facility in Mirabel, Canada via Oslo. It will undergo a period of registration before starting flights on domestic and international routes.
Bulgaria Air will lease five A220-300 and two A220-100 aircraft from US-based Air Lease Corporation, Airbus said in June. The Bulgarian national air carrier already operates seven Airbus A320 aircraft. Its fleet also includes Airbus A319 and Embraer-190 planes.
