“Auvers-sur-Oise” – this is how the French airline is christening its tenth Airbus A220-300. The aircraft, registration number F-HZUJ, left the Airbus assembly line at Mirabel and flew to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, where it will operate short- and medium-haul flights.

On July 5, 2022, it operated its first commercial flight to Venice (Air France Flight 1126).

The aircraft seats 148 in a 3-2 seating configuration. The seat is the widest single aisle aircraft market, reclining and features an adjustable headrest, leather upholstery and an ergonomic seat cushion for increased comfort. A wide stable storage table, drink holders, a pocket for storing magazines and books, individual USB-A and -C ports and a tablet or smartphone holder integrated into the backrest complete the package.

By the end of 2025, a total of 60 A220-300s will gradually replace some of Air France's medium-haul aircraft. With up to 15 planned deliveries per year, this is the fastest fleet integration of an aircraft in the history of Air France, the airline said in a press release.
