the a220 previously known as a c-series was initially produced by bombardier from a clean
sheet design in 2018 airbus became a majority partner of the c-series aircraft limited
partnership and rebranded the c-series as the a220 specifically the a2 2100 and the a2300 to
reflect its major interest in the partnership want to know about it well stay tuned to the video and
watch the video till the end hello guys welcome to the aviation exclusive hit the subscribe button

the airbus a220 is the best aircraft in the world so without any further ado let's begin the twin
jet features flyby wire flight controls a carbon composite wing and aluminum lithium fuselage and
optimize aerodynamics for better fuel efficiency the airbus a2300 has a high quality air filtering
system equipped with a high efficiency particulate air hepa type filter that provides the best level
of filtration currently available for recirculated cabin air from the very beginning of boarding
during the entire flight and until all passengers have left the aircraft the quality of cabin air
is carefully controlled and is recirculated with ventilation rates that provides a total
change of air 20 to 30 times per hour the seat is the widest on the market 48 centimeters
it reclines to 118 degrees and has an adjustable headrest leather upholstery and an ergonomic seat
cushion for enhanced comfort a wide solid tray table cup holder a pouch for storing magazines
and books individual usb a and c ports and tablet or smartphone holder integrated into the backrest
complete the package airbus aircraft can be fitted with state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment
systems offering passengers individual screens with high quality audio and video programming on
demand passengers can receive other services such as satellite live television broadcasts
safety instructions in their own language live views from landscape cameras outside of the
aircraft international news or connecting flight information these latest generation entertainment
systems are fully integrated into the seat which not only creates further legroom but also allows
the connection of their own personal electronic devices such as smartphones tablets or laptops
with an average of 120 to 150 seats airlines now see these models as the best solution to calm
passengers who out of fear of coronavirus spread are not particularly excited about flying in
large planes next to 300 to 500 other people with fewer seats and similar capacity to other single
aisle aircraft the a220 has established itself as the best option for post coronavirus travel
airlines want planes that have a similar range and economic performance like the larger models
but with fewer seats for example the a2 2300 can carry passengers over 6 200 kilometers as much
as the a320 but with 40 to 70 fewer seats the reduced capacity also makes it lighter greatly
reducing costs for airlines since the introduction of the airbus a2300 aircraft almost five years ago
airbaltic has carried over 6.5 million passengers on the aircraft thus far most passengers have been
carried to such destinations as amsterdam paris london and moscow airbus a2 2300s have completed
over 78 246 flights and flown over three hundred 175 twelve block hours since may 2020 air baltic
operates all its flights with a single aircraft type airbus a2300 thus minimizing the complexity
and benefiting from the additional efficiency provided by the aircraft bay 220 allows you to
place full-sized carry-ons and overhead bins on their side allowing for infinitely more bags to
be stored in a single bin for routes that feature checked baggage of verse travelers this allows
everyone to put their bag in the overhead bin nearest their seat without any drama this new
aircraft with an unparalleled energy performance represents a major asset for air france to date
fleet renewal is the main source of reducing co2 emissions and this is why we're continuing to
invest in the latest generation aircraft we're also activating all the levers at our disposal
such as sustainable fuels or eco-piloting as part of our contribution to promoting a carbon-neutral
air transport industry and positioning ourselves as a leading player of more sustainable aviation
stated benjamin smith ceo of air france klm during the number of passengers on board the efficiency
is advertised by us by airbus at 120 miles per gallon compared to other aircraft in its class
this outstrips almost every other model by some stretch to compare the 737 max 8 achieves 103.2
mpg and the a321 neo 107.4 mpg in terms of fuel burn the a220 was marketed to achieve 20 percent
better fuel burn than similarly sized aircraft in practice the a2 2100 has been reported to achieve
9.1 pound per mile on a short 500 nautical mile flight and 10.1 pound per mile on longer flights
the minus 300 has been recorded to achieve between 10.11 pound per mile and 11.01 per
mile this is lower than any other aircraft with a similar capacity the closest contender being
the a320 neo which was recorded at 9.9 pounds mile over a 660 nautical mile flight this lower
fuel burn sets the aircraft up to perform well for airlines both now and into the far future
ticking boxes for both profitability and environmental consciousness in one swoop
the cabin the most spacious and brightest in its category is decorated in the air france signature
colors shades of blue a strong presence of white providing light and contrast and a hint of red
symbolizing the airline's excellence and know-how the carpet revisits the traditional ornamental
herringbone pattern symbolizing the emblematic hosman inspired world of parisian apartments
large panoramic windows provide natural light for the duration of the trip from boarding to landings
specially adapted cabin moon lighting settings create bright dynamic lighting for the welcome
and disembarkation phases and softer lighting for a more relaxed serene atmosphere during the flight
with spacious baggage racks are easy to access the central aisle is particularly wide allowing
customers to move about at ease used to feed large hubs the a220 is an ideal size and would likely be
successful in all but the smaller cities this could be in the up gauging of smaller regional
jets downsizing larger narrow body equipment or launching a new service possible with the
increased efficiency that the plane offers delta airlines is already using the plane this way but
hub operation is not the only mission this plane can support as breeze airways plans the a220 is
the right size for point-to-point services and improves previously on economic options
because of this likely more low-cost airlines will use the spain to overfly large airline
hubs and fly non-stop in markets that currently require a hub connection the controls of the super
modern aircraft bear little resemblance to the clunky mechanisms found in older planes though
the asu 2300 is fully digital its state-of-the-art touchscreens more closely resemble something from
a spacecraft than an airplane full class cockpit says ramke gesturing around the flight deck
no round dial instruments anymore all of the data is projected onto these screens the a220s
flight management system is a computer system that automates a wide range of in-flight tasks it can
determine the aircraft's position and in line with the flight plan calculate the course the aircraft
needs to follow a very smart autopilot meanwhile the flight control system connects the side stake
the throttles and the pedals which the pilot uses to maneuver the craft the a220 family is produced
under the management of the airbus canada limited partnership held 75 by airbus and 25
by the government of quebec the program is based in mirabelle quebec where operations
include program management engineering customer support and services maribel is home to the main
a220 final assembly a second assembly line has been established in mobile alabama to serve the
us market even though the european manufacturer will maintain a production rate of 4 units a month
there are still 529 pending orders from airlines out of these air canada has 14 airbus a2 2300
pending delivery and jetblue expects to receive the first of 78 to 2300 by the end of the year
meanwhile latvia's airbaltic aspires to be the first airline with the fleet completely made up
of a220 models it currently has 22 80 2300 time aircraft and has 28 weighting the us airline
grounded its 62 airbus a320 but continues to sell flights on its 31a to 2100 models
or swiss which currently operates 30 of its a320s but maintains flights on 45 of its 29 a220 planes
