Airbus A220-300

223 BCS3 In Production

Originally developed by Bombardier as the CS300 before Airbus took over the program, the A220-300 is a single-aisle twinjet purpose-built for the 100-to-150-seat market. It seats about 130 passengers in two classes and up to 160 single-class, and two Pratt & Whitney PW1524G geared turbofans give a range near 5,920 km at 829 km/h. First flown in 2015, the aircraft is 38.7 metres long with a 35.1-metre wingspan and a maximum takeoff weight of 70,900 kg. Its wide cabin uses 2-3 seating that removes the middle seat on one side, and the clean-sheet design yields roughly 25 percent lower per-seat operating costs than the previous generation in its class.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Airbus A220-300 typically seats 130 passengers in a two-class configuration. In a single-class high-density layout, it can carry up to 160 passengers. Despite being a smaller aircraft, the A220 features a remarkably wide cabin at 3.28 m with a 2-3 seating arrangement, giving middle seats only on one side of the aisle.

The Airbus A220-300 has a maximum range of approximately 5,920 km (3,200 nautical miles). This range is sufficient for transcontinental routes like New York to Los Angeles or European routes like London to Athens. The aircraft uses Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan engines, which contribute to a 20% fuel burn reduction compared to previous-generation aircraft in this size category.

The A220-300 carries about 30 more passengers than the E195-E2 (130 vs 100 in two-class) while offering superior range (5,920 km vs 4,815 km). The A220-300 has a wider cabin allowing 2-3 seating, while the E195-E2 uses a 2-2 configuration. The A220 is generally preferred by major airlines upgrading from regional jets, while the E195-E2 targets the upper end of the regional market.

The A220-300 has a distinctive appearance with its sleek, modern fuselage and large cockpit windows. The wings feature raked wingtips rather than the sharklets used on the A320 family. The Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines have a notably large fan diameter relative to the aircraft size. The main landing gear retracts into a fairing on the fuselage belly, giving it a clean underwing profile.

Yes, the A220 was originally developed by Bombardier as the C Series, with the CS100 and CS300 variants. Bombardier launched the program in 2004 and the first CS100 entered service with Swiss International Air Lines in 2016. After financial difficulties and a US trade dispute involving Boeing, Bombardier sold a majority stake to Airbus in 2018. Airbus rebranded the CS100 as the A220-100 and the CS300 as the A220-300, integrating them into its product lineup.
