Guys admit it : A220 is the cutest aircraft in the industry. Awwww

Proud to be Canadian and glad that a great design was not lost when Airbus acquired control of its production, I think they saw a winning aircraft.

This is close to perfect aircraft. I have great experience of flying A220, even 6,5 hours flight to Abu Dhabi was great experience. Comfortable, quiet and efficient, plane which is hard to compare with B737. Especially it looks good with AirBaltic livery.

I had the chance to fly on it with AirBaltic when it was still called the CS300. Although its revolutionary efficiency is its main selling point you forgot to mention the passenger comfort factor which makes it a win-win for both passengers and airlines. Other aircraft of this segment like the A320neo and the 737s are absolutely crammed in coach. This is where the A220 excels. The unusual, 2-3 seating configuration with a wider middle seat (at least on AirBaltic), huge windows, quiet cabin and airy cabin makes that A220 the first choice of any frequent flyer. Well done Bombardier and Airbus

Having recently flown an Embraer -190 (AF) I would strongly endorse the use of single aisle low capacity aircraft . Very comfortable , rapid access and disembarcation . I must say that particular aircraft was very comfortable .

I flew on a Delta A220. I just remember the window in the bathroom. Pretty cool at 38,000ft.

Anyone currently flying the B717 should seriously consider the A220. Looking at you Qantas!

This is my absolute favorite narrow body of all time. It's so beautiful. It will always be the CS300 in my heart

If you can not beat them, join them, Airbus knew this but not Boeing. Boeing seems to be doing everything wrong.

Flew on a Swiss A220 twice and let me just say... it’s a joy! ;)

Too bad Bombardier couldn’t make the program a success on their own as I was keen for them to break the Airbus-Boeing duopoly for single aisles. While I am glad to see the plane successful under Airbus, it means there is even less negotiating power to lower the prices compared to before when it was in Bombardier’s hands because before the Delta big order and the whole tariffs thing it gave Boeing and Airbus the chance to offer even lower prices to key valuable customers who Bombardier tried to sell the plane to

Recently flew the A220 between Toronto and Montreal…. It was absolutely stunning. Gorgeous cabin, smooth, quiet and extremely advanced. Really excited to see the A220 flourish

I absolutely adore flying with the A220. It‘s my favourite jet. Quiet, good legroom, nearly no turbulances, big windows. You just feel that it‘s the winning jet!

As a frequent Air Baltic customer I had many flights by A220-300. Can say all the best only.

Air Canada has 8 as of this post, C-GJYC entered service a couple weeks ago.

Designed and built in Montreal.

I flew with a A220 from Air Baltic, and what i like it and how i felt is that was the least noisy plane! i t was quite silence inside! Nice experience

could you please also use metric when showing figures, it’s very difficult to follow sometimes (nice video as usual anyway)

I was in first class on Delta. It was really nice with a top notch entertainment system. I spoke to the pilots and checked out the flight deck. Massive MFDs and side controls provided a spacious work environment. Much more comfortable than my 747 office...

flew in an AirBaltic A220, amazing plane!

Certainly good for pilots ! Four planes flying over one keeps four times the jobs.

A220 is a great aeroplane. I remember flying on a cs branded one with swiss.

Proud to be Canadian since this jet was originally Canadian made and Airbus is doing a well thought program for it.

It seems quite unusual to see the insane amount of love for this aircraft. I haven't been on one yet, but it seems everyone who has, raves about them. Hopefully airlines will plan on having plenty of them around for a while.

I flew on the A220 with Air Baltic and it is the nicest feeling plane I have been on. Being a short haul flight I'm not talking about entertainment systems etc, but the spaciousness, and the feeling of atmosphere / quality of the cabin and toilets etc was the best I can remember.

A plane to remind Boeing yet again where it screwed up.

Even back in the 90s Bombardier stated it would not build an aircraft in this size range unless it could build one superior to anything else out there. What is often forgotten is that Bombardier was competing with Embraer and Embraer had aircraft in this side category but Bombardier was reluctant to go into the category without some clear advantage in design. So in some sense Bombardier was under pressure to build such and aircraft. That said the US response was to insure there would be no competition in design or engineering in Canada putting a near 400% tariff on a plane that did not even compete with any of their products. It is also a fact that Boeing is the most subsidized company in the US. This was particularly made more difficult when the extra cost Bombardier had to accept developing a superior aircraft. So the American government succeeded in destroy one of Canada's biggest companies while being rewarded by having a portion of the 220 being built in the US. This leaves Canada as a either a branch plant or component producing company with no design or engineering of our own. Economists keep claiming countries must innovate, but how is that done when the US destroys Canadian companies and keeps design and engineering to itself. Canadian governments need to check to see if they are being offered coolaid when considering so called free trade. Unless there are overwhelming advantages we should reject the Super hornet and F35 in favour of the Saab Grippen.

Happy to see the A220 getting love! Still sad though that this should have stayed as the C-Series and been a success for Bombardier. The whole BS complaint to the FTC to impose tariffs on it is one of reasons I lost respect for Boeing, at least their executive team.

As a Canadian, I am very happy for it’s immediate impact

You should be MUCH MORE CLEAR and state fuel efficiency as miles per gallon PER PASSENGER, not just miles per gallon! Obviously the plane cannot fly over 100 miles per gallon, but must divide the fuel consumed per passenger to get the numbers you cite in your video.

This is what Southwest should have used to replace there aging 737 fleet instead of the troublesome MAX's. A whole new fleet of Airbus A220-300's. Just a beautifully quiet yet powerful regional aircraft and around the same size as a older generation 737-700. They could have easily replaced there 700's with these A220-300's. I truly hope more US based airlines use these gorgeous planes for there short haul routes.

I see a MAJOR advantage in downsizing regarding planes: Fewer Emissions, wider offerings in point-2-point destinations, shorter boarding times, a more private feeling onboard ... I mean, it's like big size private jet.

I've been on a 2,5h flight with Air Baltic. I was excited to get to the A220. It's quieter than the A320s and 737s. Seats were pretty firm and a little too low for me. I can't see myself in an 7hr trans atlantic flight is such a plane. But I'll fly it again when I get the chance. Best seats to me are Embraer E1 seats (although A/C is horrible at these planes).

I just flew forth and back to Edmonton. The outward journey was with a 737-700, while the inward was with a A220. It's day and night comparing theses two planes. The 737 cabin was cold and noisy , while in the A220 I could took off my shoe for the whole trip, and was more quiet than the 737, even if I was sitted right beside the engine. After all, It's like comparing a 50 y/o technologie with the latest available. For my future trips, I will consider the companies who have the A220 in their fleet to fly.

Seems like a great little plane, wish Southwest would order some of these in order to break the ice with Airbus

I flew on airBaltic A220 and immediately fell in love with the aircraft. No wonder Boeing didn't want to see this new plane take off and launched an attack on Bombardier. They knew CSeries was much better product than their MAX. Maybr instead of attacking CSeries they should have focused on building a better aircraft themselves.

Great analysis of a great aircraft program! I see a lot of potential for evolution of this beautiful airplane once the industry is on a sustained growth path again following the COVID crisis. It's hard to find a better mix of efficiency, passenger comfort and a modern cockpit for the pilots to enjoy. - Martin

You left out the part of how the plane went from Bombardier to Airbus.

I’ve flown on a Swiss a220 from Thessaloniki-Zurich. The flight was amazing and really quiet. The windows were really big as well. Definitely one of the favorite flights that I’ve flown on

Honestly the 2-3 seat arrangement is so nice.

Two (completely irrational) reasons why I'd like to see the C-Series / A220 succeed is to rub Boeing's snout in it. a/ What Boeing tried to do to Bombardier was childish stupidity at it's worst regarding the tariffs b/ Boeing killed the MD-95 / B717. As I said - completely irrational reasons but reasons nonetheless.

The A220 is way better than the A319 neo and 737 max7.

This is my favorite narrow body ever made. The windows are huge the space is amazing its comfortable efficient it's quiet inflight it's range is amazing. Just an amazing experience for a 5 hour flight way better than any 737 or 320 product ever.

In your list of airlines that operate the A220 you left out jetBlue, they also have a list of A220s in their fleet as well.

Excellent little aircraft. Well done Bombardier and Airbus!

The a220 is an absolute beautiful aircraft love bombardier.

I loved being able to visit my family in Zurich via London City instead of Heathrow, which is a quiet hike on the tube from Central/North London. Additionally, it's a gorgeous plane (my faves are 747, 787 and MD-11).

I disagree with your reasoning on why Airbus isn't working on the -500. I'm certain the real reason is that if capacity grew to 160 passengers, it'd cannibalize A320 sales.

Love your videos. Love from Romania ❤️🛫

A320neo: "Am I a joke to you?"

Having flown with the A220-100 with Delta numerous times, it’s my number 1 favorite aircraft to fly in; the A350-1000 being my second favorite. The cabin is quiet, with excellent seat configurations with a lot of legroom and a great views out the window. I really really hope more airlines pick up this plane to fly more routes both domestic and internationally. Fingers crossed!

I just flew the Air Canada A220 YYZ-IAH in business yesterday. Such a great aircraft!

it is just a right plane comes out at a perfect time

If all airlines in the world ordered the a220 flying would be very popular

A perfect narrow body aircraft... I had 3 hours experience on board air Tanzania inaugural flight JHB-DAR in 2019...the aircraft is among the quietest

Am already in love with this Bombardier ...its really amazing

The A220 uses Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan engines which produce significantly less noise than other commercial jet engines. Noise is a major concern for SWISS. The two longest runways at Zurich may not be used late at night because of noise concerns.

We need an a220 vs 737 comparison

Watching this while sitting in an AirFrance A220-300. Such an awesome plane!

Felt good to hear Sacramento mentioned! Our big-little airport gets busier by the year!

Best plane for short and medium haul for sure.

Haha where was everyone here when Bombardier offered the C Series. Sad that it takes an outsider to actually design the "game-changer".

My first ever flight was onboard a SWISS A220-100. I had no comparison but at the time I found it very silent, considering it wasn't a wide modern jet like a 787 for example. It was only after flying several times in a A320NEO that I gave the A220 it's real value. Congrats both to Bombardier on developing this great airplane and Airbus for the vision and putting it on the front line.

The lack of competition with the A220 (formally, CSeries) helped extremely. Notable western former competitors are, Fokker 70, Fokker 100, Maddog (all iterations (for those who don’t know all iterations of the Maddog are: DC-9, MD-80, MD-88, MD-90 & Boeing 717)).

It never ceases to amaze me how economists, madmen and aviation 'experts' believe everything will go on forever

1:30 Hey, that’s KPDX, my hometown airport! I recognize the concourse exterior and the roof of the Embassy Suites in the background

Oh yeah! That is a amazing airplane to fly And it looks new and I cannot wait to fly on it! 😎👍

Flew a SWISS CS-100, FLR - ZRH and ZRH - FLR. Comfortable, quiet, but most impressively a complete rocket! The takeoff on both flights was probably the steepest I have ever experienced in a commercial aircraft. It was fun! Congrats Bombardier, and Airbus was smart to purchase the program, but naturally there will be no 500 series soon, as it would encroach on the A-319/20 territory... We need more Bombardier and less Boeing/Airbus.

How about a comparison between the A220 and Embraer E2 jets?

The A-220 is surely economical, but is the A-220 comfortable for passengers on longer routes (4-5 hours routes) given its small size?

I love the A220, it's why I fly delta between ORD and BOS instead of any of its competitors. Impressively comfortable for the size. Plus, on weekday flights I can easily get a whole exit row to myself!

A220:Mom am I adopted? Airbus:Yeah. A220:Oh…..

ATCL also operates to Mumbai sometimes with A220

The A220 is more efficient than the 787 Dreamliner!

I've flown twice on a 220 both delta flights SLC- ORD and SEA -ORD both flight were fantastic up front they are pretty quiet , haven't flown in the rear yet, but a very nice aircraft, I've been following development since Bombardier announced it.

This aircraft is great. The interior cabin design is awesome. A220 -100 can also operate in 1500 meter runway so it can operate various airstrips in my country.

I was literally looking at CSeries / A220 videos earlier today! haha awesome!

Going to fly in a few weeks....

yes I flew on Swiss. Uncomfortable seats, but the cabi noise level wa low, and T/O and climbout were far better than on any other jet.

Airbus and bombardier collaborate in a narrow body! Fantastic

i live close to YMX (A220 Factory) and heard a plane, checked flight radar and it was a Korean air A220 that was being test flight.

So Bombardier design the most suitable aircraft yet they disappear while big fat Boeing keeps on lumbering along, sort of. What happened to competition? US subsidies?

great bruh!!! keep going.

What about airport capacity though? Can existing runways absorb the demand for more takeoff/landing slots?

My 2nd favorite aircraft

Fiji Airways and Air Canada looks so beautiful in these clips! 😍

Have flown the A220-100 and A220-300 numberous times with Swiss since its introduction with the carrier. Go out of my way to fly the aircraft through Europe if there is any possibility. Really enjoyable passenger experience from start up to landing. The crews up front and with the passengers seem and say that they really like flying the aircraft too. Into and out of London City, it is the only way to fly and helps to avoid Heathrow. Status: Senator.

I flew on a 220 from Montreal to Toronto I felt like I was on a larger aircraft the comfort and the quiet I really enjoyed our craft it had all the bells and whistles

I appreciate the hard work in your video, but I would have preferred if you also discussed about E195-E2 to compare

I highly doubt the A220-500 would ever be built, IMO, the -300 is pretty much at the upper limit of how much the A220 can stretch itself without cannibalizing A319neo sales.

Is the seating 3 - 2 ?

Great video thanks 👍

Shurley a ideal bus stop 😂 aircraft to most destanions around the the U.K.? Not to big not to small? Love it.

I see the potential in it... Alot of potential

Looks like a really good option for flying direct to your destination..

Love your videos! Very compact and well organized!! Btw if you need someone to mix/master your audio or even produce original music just hit me up and I’ll be happy to help!!

That's why Boeing needs a 717 replacement

I have flown the A220 with Swiss a couple of times (instead of the usual A320) for the Zurich to Heathrow route. It's a nice aircraft but, on Swiss at least, lacks certain amenities, like infotainment screens. While this is not an issue for short duration flights, it would be for longer routes, where boredom could set in. I agree, with Boeing have it's issues with the 737 Max and the A320's aging (NEO's notwithstanding), the A220's future looks bright. Thanks for the informative video.

Airbus 220 production is also moving to new production facilities in 2023 in the Pearson Airport area in Missaugga, Ontario from Downsview which is over 60 yrs old facility.

My first thought upon hearing "narrow-body" was "oh no, not back to the days of cramped single-aisle domestics". However, on seeing the cabin there, it actually looks really nice and managed to feel spacious. Airbus is killing it lately!
