As follow-up of the MoU, NAC signed the contract for 20 A220 family aircraft earlier this month.
The new orders of Airbus A220 and ATR aircraft will complement the company’s existing fleet.
Airbus chief commercial officer Christian Scherer said: “NAC’s order for the A220 shows this aircraft is just as relevant in the regional world as it is in the mainline one.
“We are delighted to work with NAC going forward, we thank them for their confidence and congratulate them on their new offices in Limerick.”
