Airbus Extends Range Of A220 In Bid To Dominate Regional Market
During its Innovation Days press briefing in Toulouse, Airbus announced that
it has increased the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of the A220 aircraft
(formerly Bombardier CSeries) by an additional 2.3 metric tonnes, resulting
in maximum range increase of 450 nautical miles. The range of the A220-300
variant of the aircraft will grow to 3,350nm and the A220-100 will increase
to 3,400 nm.

The added range of this regional aircraft comes as a result of proofing the
structural integrity and systems margins as well as the fuel volume capacity
of the aircraft. It will give Airbus an additional edge to compete in the
regional marketplace.
“This new MTOW will allow operators to reach markets which today cannot be
served by other small single-aisle aircraft types,” said Christian Scherer,
Chief Commercial Officer at Airbus.
The added range could support routes between Western Europe and the Middle
East, or from Southeast Asia to Australia.
Airbus has 530 orders for the A220 and estimates a market of 7,000 aircraft
of this size (100-150-seats) over the next 20 years.
Delta Air Lines and JetBlue are both Airbus A220 customers.
This January, Airbus broke ground on construction of a new A220 Manufacturing
Facility at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley adjacent to the A320 family
production line in Mobile, Alabama.
A220 的MTOW将增加2.3顿 因此航程可再增加450nm
所以
2020下半年起
A220-100将可飞到3,400nm 6296km
A220-300 3.350nm 6204km
