Airbus SE (AIR.FR) and Air Austral have signed an agreement for the purchase of three A220 aircraft, the European plane maker said Monday.

This firm order is part of Air Austral's plan to renew its medium and short-haul fleet. The airline, which is based in France's Reunion Island, will add the aircraft to its fleet from the end of next year.

The A220 had an order book of more than 500 aircraft at the end of September, Airbus said.
