At present, the Airbus A220-300 is certified to carry a maximum of 149 passengers if it has a specific type of overwing exit. However, Airbus is seeking certification for its Canadian-designed aircraft to accommodate 160 passengers. Work on this process is set to begin this year.

The potential increase in passenger capacity raises questions about who will benefit more from this development: the passengers or the airlines operating the aircraft.
