The Ilyushin Finance Co. has announced it has signed a framework agreement with an undisclosed airline for the lease of six A220-300s. A firm contract is expected to be signed by mid-August.

Sourced from the Russian lessor's Bombardier Aerospace (BBA, Montréal Trudeau) order book, the aircraft will deliver on twelve-year leases beginning in 2019-20. They will feature an all-economy lay-out of 150 seats.
