It is a time of recovery but the crisis continues and above all a time when the aeronautical sector has to meet environmental objectives. This aircraft participates in this spirit of reconquest and credibility of the collective commitments that we have assumed for the decarbonization of aviation. It is an aircraft that generates less noise, that pollutes less. It is the appropriate aircraft for this reconquest operation in the post-crisis world. "
