RE:PO for US$5.65 million for Iridium modems and license feesAirbus orders and deliveries chart below. The numbers show that license sales could continue for seven years or more.
The three plane types involved are the A220 (Bombardier's C-Series), the A320, and the A330.
With 6,583 planes yet to be built, at the typical build rate of 700 or so per year, there are almost enough planes on order to see 7 more years of orders like that which was announced today.

Oct, 2021: "Air France and Airbus gave a strong hint this week that a further stretch (elongation of the fuselage) of the A220-300 might become the long-awaited replacement of the A320 family after 2025."
If it does, and since the A220 family is part of the licensing agreement, Flyht could see sales continuing for a long time.
