on 10 july 2018, just hours after the cseries was rebranded by airbus, jetblue ordered 60 a220-300s to replace its 60 embraer 190s from 2020 with 40% lower fuel burn per seat, a blow to embraer which was marketing the e195-e2 to the carrier. priced at $5.4 billion before customary discounts, they should be delivered from mobile, alabama, some could be converted to the a220-100 and 60 options are pending from 2025. jetblue found the two models very close economically, as the a220-300 fuel seat cost is 40% lower than its current e190 and operating cost per seat excluding fuel are 22% lower.
