Airbus Considers New A220 Variant Amid Growing Demand
Airbus is exploring the market potential for a new stretched version of the A220, the A220-500, which could seat around 180 passengers. The project is still subject to approval, but an announcement is expected at the Farnborough International Airshow in July. Industry sources suggest that Airbus will gauge interest from lessors and airlines, including potential customers like Delta Air Lines and airBaltic, which already operate A220 aircraft. This development was first reported by Reuters, according to AeroTime.
