“We have asked them to show it around the region, since we are going to FIDAE, which is the most important Latin American fair,” he added.

He added that “part of the marketing strategy is to teach customers throughout the regionand FIDAE is an important event to show it”.
According to Airbus, the A220 is making a “South American debut” as it tours the region on a demonstration tour.
“In Latin America we have not penetrated with this plane yet. Today we are number one in the region, as the 56% of the planes that fly are from Airbus and we have incredible success with our other one-aisle family,” Barreira added.
