Croatia Airlines has signed a MOU with Airbus for the purchase of six A220s, plus options, and will firm up the order once financing is in place. The order, a swap from the original A319s, includes a split between the -100 and -300, and will help the carrier replace its entire fleet with A220s.

Airbus believes the A220 programme (taken over from Bombardier with a heavy debt) can still become profitable by 2025, following supply chain issues in 2022. Airbus wants to reach a production target of 14 a month by 2025.
