Airbus sealed a landmark order for 40 A220 jets from Polish national carrier LOT yesterday, marking the airline’s largest-ever investment and signalling a broader reset in political ties between Poland and France.

The deal follows a hard-fought contest between France-based Airbus and Brazil’s aerospace champion Embraer to capitalise on Warsaw’s plans to equip an ambitious new hub in Eastern Europe.
