A220-100

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.
