I love the A220. Years ago, Southwest Airlines was considering adding the aircraft to its fleet but opted against it. I’m not sure if that decision worked out for them….
I love the miniscule tiny brother of the airbus family- the a220. It is a great fit catered to niche markets especially low-demand routes. What a prescient acquisition from Airbus!
Airbus is actually selling all A220s at a loss because of the suppliers Bombardier chose. At the moment is not yet a good purchase even while selling lots of A220s
Congratulations Airbus x Cebu Pacific x ASEAN 🇮🇩🇻🇳🇱🇦🇧🇳🇹🇭🇲🇲🇵🇭🇰🇭🇸🇬🇲🇾 I am quite certain Airbus is the market leader in the region having sold many of their narrow and widebodies in the hundreds. Such an exciting time for the region in the aviation sector post COVID-19. Recently, AirAsia X has announce a new route from Kuala Lumpur to Nairobi, Kenya while Malaysia Airlines is set to receive first of its 20x A330neo order in September 2024.
Had checked the Airbus web site but no news releases on Cebu deal. The Cebu web site mentions this is only an MOU with "up to" number of aircraft in firm order. So it is not an order yer and the actual number of airctraft in the firm order is not yera finalized. But it does mean Cebu has chosen the vendor.
Dont get excited with CebuPac announcement. Its an MOU or Memorandum of Understanding and its not binding. CebuPac may suddenly change to just one order. Get excited if they signed the Memorandum of Agreement and thats binding usually results to an actual order.
@@stickynorth except for the fact Bombardier sold all that Canadian taxpayers money that went into development of the CS300/A220 to Airbus and pocketed the cash.
If the pics of the cabin of the a220 are really of a Qantas interior, I say great job Qantas! Northern err…New Pacific Airlines is so far fetched I have to laugh. Bad timing, bad idea. Thank, as always, Dj!
As an Alaskan, we never thought NP would get started or survive. They played around for years, pretending to start hiring while actually doing nothing. McKinney fancies himself as having accomplished much more than he has. His role with RAVN was peripheral at best and the takeover of RAVN by NP did nothing to help. NP's management was a mess and it was by luck only that RAVN survives. RAVN is more the parent of Northern Pacific since NP doesn't do anything anyway. McKinney is to blame for hiring the staff for Northern Pacific, now New Pacific, trying to create a few throw away routes that dwindled down to a single charter only Southern California to.....I think Nashville route that operated a comical 1 time a month. He founded and ruined NP and swindled its employees into a job that never actually existed.
Use Pratt & Whitney engines though Airbus uses the 1500g while the E175-E2 uses the 1700G and both E190-E2 and E195-E2 use the 1900G. Both cover similar ranges but Embraer laid out their E2 jets in a 2-2 configuration (economy) while the A220 is in a 3-2 configuration (economy only, not including first class).
@@verttikoo2052 no, the subtlety is very important. They do not care about emissions, only fuel burn but will always tell us its about emissions. I don’t accept being fed bullshit. That is all.
@@WeLoveWave Thinking 25% less fuel burn means 25% less emissions. They go hand in hand. Less fuel burn less emissions. So we also profit from this. Now Airbus needs to save fuel. Thank you 🙏
Sorry, Qantas and customer satisfaction shouldn't be used in the same document. Friend flew BNE - LAX two weeks ago in economy. They ran out of food by the time they got to her seat and she was only offered two Tim Tams for the entire trip. The IFE didn't work in her seat for the entire flight. Then my wife and daughter flew BNE - Incheon last week. Both of their meals were still 100% rock hard frozen when served and cabin staff do not answer the call button. None of the usb charge points on either of their seats worked either. Same for the their flight back, both of their meals were still inedible, and their breakfast actually had green colored eggs. QF has lost a lot and they don't seem intent on fixing it. Planes are super old, inflight experience is woeful and staff seem disinterested. It's a product to avoid.
Cebu pacific massives orders is a preparation for the new manila international airport, its funny that cebu pacific has more aircrafts than the frag carrier Philippine airlines
A few videos before, they were saying the opposite. That DJ is a Boeing fan. Leave the guy alone. He is NOT making the news. He is just spreading existing news.
Having flown many times the A220 i did not find it comfortable, it is cramped, claustrophobic, the seats (depends on airline) are horrible at least with Swiss and Air Baltic. Give me a A320 any day.
A US gov handout wouldn't actually solve the problems, it'd just stop the company folding totally. What's clearly needed, and being recommended by literally everybody and being asked for by the US legislators, is a complete change of senior management. The company seems unwilling to do that, so, nothing doing. A large part of Boeing's survival isn't in the hands of the company or the US gov anyway. As the issue is related to quality / safety, if overseas regulators decide they can no longer accept the FAA's word that Boeings are safe, then they can and will deny them the right to fly in their territory. No fly, no sale. As a large slice of Boeing's order book is overseas sales, overseas regulators have the power to render a large fraction of the company's orderbook irrelevant. If that actually happened, then Boeings become a US-only aircraft. The fact that it hasn't already happened is probably because it seems that - at the moment - it's the FAA that's doing Boeing's quality control. Moreover, if Embraer steps up and decides to build a 737 competitor (which it has been discussing with various airlines), they can probably bring that to market before Boeing can turn themselves around. If that happened, Embraer could pick up a lot of Boeing customer defections. Again, that would strip Boeing of a large fraction of its order book. A further novel variation on this could be that Airbus licenses Embraer to build A320neos, or simply pays them to build them (because Airbus hasn't got the capacity itself). So basically, Boeing's fate is not in the hands of the US gov. It may already be too late for the US gov to intervene and force the company to reform, as this could take too long leaving the US gov with a fixed company but with a nearly empty order book; the market could have moved into Airbus and/or Embraer's hands. If the US gov wanted to guarantee that large scale airliner manufacturing remains inside the USA, about the only guaranteed option available would be to entice Airbus to please expand its capacity at Mobile, Alabama, and help the company politically by not objecting to it becoming a global monopoly. Another way would be to encourage, say, Lockheed Martin to re-enter the commercial airliner business, but that'd amount to the US gov shooting Boeing in the head in favour of LM (or whichever US company they'd favoured).
They were right to replace the 767 with the 787. Bean counters did not allow money to be spent by engineers innovating, to eventually replace the 717, 727, 737 and 757. The single aisle market requires a family of aircraft to cover it. Hopefully, one day Boeing will wake up and return to its engineering roots, and still make money, rather than focus of increasing profits for investors at the expense of engineering. Weird space that for an engineering company.
Congratulations to Airbus and Cebu Pacific. Keep up the great work, Airbus.

They weren't planning on going that route. It was a strategy for negotiations. I bet they regret not acquiring the A220s.

Cebu already operates Airbus aircraft, so I think we should have expected this order from the start.

Saw that coming 3 years ago. Was never going to be successful. It was a pipe dream, and that money could’ve been spent better basically anywhere.
But which engines did Cebu choose for their new narrow body Airbuses?

Why no video clip showing Cebu Pacific?
Qantas A220 is operated by Qantas’ cheapest subsidiary. Not by Qantas itself.
Canadian designed and developed A220
The A220…what a great Canadian design and engineered plane by Bombardier. …rebranded by airbus.
I would love to see twin aisle airplanes with 2-2-2 configurations. I think that would totally change the passenger experience for the better.
Highly inefficient though.
LOL
Airlines like to cram more people , not reduce them
Great video! How does the A220 compare to the Embraer E2 jets?

25% fewer carbon emissions. Believe me, they aren't worried about that. They're interested in 25% lower fuel burn, nothing more.

Unless you can clone people to fly those low demand routes to fill up A320s you can as well buy your own A220 to fly you wherever you want to fly to.
