Take a look at how we made her fly?
City hops. Island hops. Short hops. Our new A220s will make it easier to bounce from place to place. Is it any surprise the tailfin pattern is named, um, Hops?
A Golden Delivery! This is one BIG 50th to celebrate! Seems like yesterday when we delivered the first
@Delta

Airbus has been made aware of these signs. This group is not affiliated with Airbus in any way, and their messages do not reflect Airbus values. We have a great deal of respect for our industry colleagues and would never endorse or encourage such messages.
What a nice empennage you have! And such a sleek fuselage as well! Check out those big windows – and what a roomy cabin! Nice job with lowering fuel burn with those winglets!
