The Airbus A220-100 is a modern regional airliner that revolutionized the 100-150 seat market segment with its exceptional fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. First flying on September 16, 2013, it is a low-wing twin-engine aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan engines, seating up to 150 passengers in a single-aisle configuration. The aircraft delivers at least 20 percent lower fuel burn per seat compared to previous-generation aircraft while maintaining widebody comfort levels. Originally developed by Bombardier Aviation as the CS100, it became an Airbus product following the European manufacturer's acquisition of the program.
