As the smallest jetliner in Airbus’ commercial aircraft product line, the A220-100, was built from the ground up to serve the 100-135 seat market with unbeatable efficiency and comfort. With broad seats, plenty of overhead storage space and large windows, this is a single-aisle aircraft that feels like a widebody jet.
The smallest Airbus jetliner
The extensive use of advanced materials – including composites in the wings, empennage and rear fuselage – reduces weight and increases resistance to corrosion, resulting in better efficiency and maintainability. These modern materials make up more than 40% of the aircraft’s primary structure, delivering weight savings for reduced fuel burn, with an accompanying reduction of up to 25% CO2 and up to 50% NOx emissions.
Powered by Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1500G geared turbofan engines that are specifically designed for the A220 family, the A220-100 connects distant airports with its 3,450nm range and best-in-class airfield performance. The A220 Family is ideal for hot-and-high and city-centre airport operations. In fact, the A220-100 is the largest aircraft capable of operating in the constrained environment of London City Airport. From such challenging airports, the A220 Family’s performance and efficiency give it a built-in advantage.
Enhanced passenger comfort
In addition to delivering best-in-class economics, the A220-100’s configurable cabin provides two flex zones. This enables operators to benefit from fully customisable modular cabin elements tailored to their needs – including stowage areas and partitions – to deliver an exceptional passenger experience. A220 Family aircraft also are recognised for their low noise levels, providing a quiet and comfortable environment during all phases of flight.
Wide seats combined with ample overhead storage create personal space without compromising on headroom, and the cabin management system provides crews with easy, intuitive control of the aircraft’s interior environment – including entertainment offerings and mood lighting.
