Airbus A220 / Bombardier C Series Family

The Airbus A220 is a twin-engine single-aisle airliner family designed specifically for the smaller end of the mainline market. It originated in Canada as Bombardier's C Series, with the CS100 and stretched CS300 entering service before the program became the Airbus A220-100 and A220-300. A lightweight structure, geared turbofan engines, and a wide five-abreast cabin allow the family to combine regional-aircraft capacity with the range and passenger features of a larger jet.
