GAIN MISSION FLEXIBILITY

The A220’s performance and range make it a uniquely flexible aircraft family with the ability to fly a wide variety of missions including routes with challenging airports.

Range flexibility

With a range of up to 3,450nm the A220 offers a unique ability to fly both regional and longer range missions with one single aircraft type. Its superior range capability, similar to that of large single-aisles, allows more destinations to be served while being more fuel-efficient and having lower operating costs per trip. This brings valuable flexibility for airlines, allowing them to seamlessly adapt their schedules, meet demand and open new routes at the lowest risk.

What our Customers say

The Airbus A220-300 provides both greater capacity and longer range(...).Notably, the longer range of the aircraft has enabled airBaltic to launch direct flights to destinations such as Abu Dhabi, Almaty, Malaga and Lisbon.

Performance flexibility

The A220 family is the only in-production aircraft in its class capable of performing both steep approach and long-range operations, unlocking new route opportunities for airlines.

London airport runway

The A220 is ideal for hot-and-high and city centre airport operations.

 

In fact, the A220-100 is the largest aircraft able to operate 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. The type also recently achieved 180-minute extended operations (ETOPS) certification, paving the way for A220 customers to start new direct non-limiting routings over water or in remote or underserved regions.

What our Customers say

With this aircraft, we’re able to operate on longer routes, such as Moscow, Cairo or Hurghada, as well as at operationally challenging airports with short and narrow runways and complex approaches, such as London City and Florence. At the same time, the A220 is an all-rounder that can be used for all our other short and medium-haul destinations.

RIGHT-SIZE YOUR FLEET

The A220 Family is a clean-sheet design purpose-built for the 100 to 150 seat market.

Made up of 2 aircraft variants, the A220 Family gives operators the versatility to right-size their operation, whatever their business model.

Proven Versatility

The A220 has proven to successfully respond to customer needs to right-size their operations. By replacing regional aircraft and complementing larger single-aisles, like the A320 Family, operators are using the versatility of the A220 Family to optimise their fleet management with a low-risk solution. The A220 Family helps fill the gap to grow fleets, open new route opportunities, and build new business models to meet market demands.

What our Customers say

In the current reduced demand environment, it’s important to leverage the most efficient aircraft in the fleet. The A220 helped us fill a gap in terms of capacity between regional aircrafts and larger narrow-body aircraft, for which, the break-even threshold is too high in the current context.
