A220 FAMILY: PURPOSE BUILT FOR EFFICIENCY

  • The A220 is a clean sheet design and the only aircraft purpose-built for the 100 to 150 seat market segment.
  • It brings together state-of-the-art aerodynamics, advanced materials and latest-generation technologies and engines
  • Perfectly sized for this market and with a range of up to 3,450nm (6,390km), the A220 Family is the ideal complement to the A320 Family and the latest addition to Airbus leading Single-Aisle Family.
  • The A220 Family, comprising the A220-100 and the A220-300, is the most efficient small single-aisle aircraft.

  • 494 in backlog at the end of April 2021
  • 38 deliveries in 2020; 12 deliveries as of now in 2021

In-service status

  • 340,000+ flight cycles, 500,000+ flight hours
  • 425+ routes (225+ destinations)
  • 99,0% Operational Reliability (3-month rolling)

Product features

The A220 is purpose-built for efficiency

  • Based on a clean-sheet design, the A220 incorporates advanced materials for a lighter and more cost-efficient aircraft
  • The A220 features a low drag nose and tailcone design, the smallest fuselage wetted area and optimized wing aerodynamics
  • The A220 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PurePower® PW1500G latest generation engines (geared turbofans), belonging to the same engine family as the Pratt & Whitney PurePower® PW1100G engines powering the A320neo Family
  • Altogether, this translates into unbeatable fuel efficiency:
    • 25% less fuel burn per seat vs. previous generation a/c
    • 25% cost advantage per seat vs. previous generation a/c
  • As a result of its optimized maintenance programme, advanced systems integration and high-technology engine design, the A220 has longer maintenance intervals: 850 hours for "A" checks and 8,500 hours for "C" checks.

Cabin features

The A220 features an innovative cabin designfor superior passenger comfort

  • Largest cabin in its class: 10ft 9in (3.28m), equivalent to 21in (53.3 cm) wider than E-Jets
  • Highest ceiling in its class: 4in (10,1cm) better than E-Jets
  • Quietest cabin in its class, optimized for the small single-aisle market
  • Widest economy seats of any single aisle aircraft - 18+in
    • 5-abreastconfiguration for economy class with wide Economy seats of 18+in (47 cm), the widest in its class; the middle seats being even wider at 19in (48.3 cm).
    • 4-abreastconfiguration for Business class with 21in (53.3 cm) seat width
  • Wide aisle (around 20in - 50.8cm) for faster turnaround

  • Largest overhead stowage in its class: one roller bag per passenger
  • Large and panoramic windows (11in x 16in) for more natural light into the cabin
  • Full-colourLED ambient lighting with customizable scenarios that contributes to reduce fatigue at destination
  • Lavatories with improved accessibility for passengers with reduced mobility (distinctive feature in its class).

In-Flight-Entertainment & Connectivity:

  • In-seatand overhead video display
  • In-seatpower supply (ISPS)
  • Wireless content distribution
  • Ku-bandhigh-speed connectivity

Community benefits

  • 25% reduction in CO2 emissions per seat vs. previous generation of small single-aisle a/c
  • Noise footprint area up to 50% smaller than previous generation aircraft; 18 EPNdB margin to chapter 4;
  • 50% fewer NOx emissions than the standards (50% below CAEP/6 standards)
