ACG Delivers First A220-300 to ITA Airways, Launching Five-Jet Placement

The delivery begins a new ACG–ITA partnership focused on rapid fleet renewal toward 2027 targets.

Overview

  • The aircraft is the first of five A220-300s ACG is scheduled to hand over to ITA Airways in the coming months.
  • It is ACG’s first A220 sourced from Airbus’s Mirabel, Quebec production line under its 2022 order for 20 A220s.
  • ACG CEO Tom Baker said the lease supports ITA’s shift to more efficient A220 technology on short- and medium‑haul routes.
  • ITA currently operates a 99‑aircraft, all‑Airbus fleet with more than 60% new‑generation jets and a target of 90% by 2027.
  • KPMG’s 2025 Aviation Leaders Report ranks ACG as the 10th‑largest global lessor with a portfolio exceeding 500 aircraft across 85 carriers.
