DALLAS — Azorra has delivered an Airbus A220-300 aircraft to Romania’s AnimaWings (A2), a charter airline that is part of the Aegean Airlines Group.
The Bucharest-based (OTP) airline will deliver an additional three A220-300s in the coming months. The delivery of this aircraft to A2 is quite significant for Romania since it marks the first time an Airbus A220 will operate from Romania.
“We are proud to deliver the first new Airbus A220-300 to our friends at AnimaWings, which was made possible through our strong relationship with Airbus. This marks a significant milestone as the first of its type in Romania. With its unmatched performance and efficiency, this aircraft is perfectly suited to support AnimaWings' growth objectives and will play a vital role in the future of aviation in Romania.” said John Evans, CEO and Founder Azorra.
In fact, thus far, Azorra has delivered three A220-300s from its firm order book with Airbus. Delivered from Azorra’s firm order book with Airbus, the A220-300 aircraft arrived in BUH after being assembled at the Airbus facility in Mirabel (YMX), Canada. The delivery of this next-generation aircraft will enable A2 to grow its route network and open up new routes across Europe and the Middle East.
“Welcoming our first Airbus A220-300 marks a significant milestone in our growth strategy, allowing us to modernize our operations and deliver exceptional travel experiences for our customers. With its unparalleled efficiency and superior passenger comfort, this advanced aircraft enables us to commit to delivering connectivity to sought-after destinations such as Dubai (DXB), Cluj (CLJ), Iasi (IAS), Oradea (OMR), Paris (PAR), Larnaca (LCA) or Stockholm (STO).” Marius Pandel, Co-Owner, A2, said.

The A220 was purpose-built for efficiency and performance in the 100-150 seat market. The new technology aircraft offers passengers the widest economy seats in class, large panoramic windows, and low noise levels, with a 50% lower noise footprint than previous generation aircraft.
“This first A220 delivery to AnimaWings brings another milestone for the A220 as the Romania-based airline will become the tenth A220 operator in Europe, showcasing the Programme’s continued expansion. Thanks to the A220's innovative cabin features, the AnimaWings’ passengers will enjoy a superior flying experience. Moreover, as a latest-generation aircraft, the A220 brings 25% lower CO2 emissions per seat than previous-generation aircraft. We thank both Azorra and AnimaWings for their trust.” Benoît Schultz, CEO, Airbus Canada said.
