Airbus brings ITA Airways' A350 to Farnborough International Airshow
ITA Airways is exhibiting at the Farnborough International Airshow (FIA), which takes place in Farnborough, UK, from July 18-22, 2022.
FIA 2022 is the first Airshow after the pandemic and for ITA Airways, which is participating for the first time ever, this is a great opportunity to introduce itself to the international press. It will do so through a press conference to be held on July 19 at the Airbus Pavilion, Auditorium at 3:30 p.m. local time.
In this article:
For the occasion, the Italian carrier will display the new Airbus A350 with the blue livery, the fifth new-generation aircraft to join the new ITA Airways fleet. The press conference will be presented by Fabio Lazzerini, CEO of ITA Airways, and Pierluigi di Palma, president of ENAC, the Italian Civil Aviation Authority.
During the event, Lazzerini will present the results achieved in the past nine months as well as the commitment to sustainability, a topic of central importance to the Italian carrier, which aims to become Europe's greenest airline, with 75% of new-generation aircraft in its fleet by 2025.
The absolute star of the event will be ITA Airways' Sustainability Manifesto, a symbol of its commitment to the planet and its people. The company's sustainable strategy roadmap combines business growth with the creation of long-term sustainable values.
The new Airbus A350
Underlying ITA Airways' commitment to the sustainability there are the six new Airbus A350s, including the specimen dedicated to Italian sporting excellence Enzo Bearzot, on display at the event. The new A350 is distinguished by the flag carrier's new content, including new interiors designed by Walter De Silvia, which combine elegance and sustainability.
The A350 is lighter, quieter, and more efficient than previous generation aircraft. Innovative aerodynamics and a high-efficiency Rolls-Royce aircraft engine (the Trent XWB) allow it to optimize range and payload for the benefit of efficiency. In fact, thanks to the new aircraft, ITA Airways will benefit from more than 25% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions per passenger.
Also joining the fleet will be other next-generation aircraft, such as the Airbus A220-300, scheduled to arrive in the fall.
