The Airbus A220 program, consisting of the A220-100 and the more popular A220-300, continues to evolve as multiple airlines await deliveries amidst ongoing Airbus backlog. The A220-300, accommodating 120 to 160 passengers and covering a range of 3,400 nautical miles, caters primarily to short and medium-haul routes.
Delta Air Lines leads globally as the largest A220 operator, though airBaltic tops the list with the most A220-300 aircraft, having 50 in operation, followed closely by JetBlue and Air France. According to Airbus data, the manufacturing backlog includes 470 aircraft, with many airlines set to significantly expand their A220 fleets.
Among airlines with significant A220-300 orders, Croatia Airlines plans to take delivery of 11 units through leasing, marking a shift from its current fleet. TAAG Angola Airlines, holding 13 on order and already operating two, expects strategic growth with the aircraft integrated into its domestic and continental services.
