"The A220’s range and capacity make it ideal for carriers wanting to open new regional routes out of the Asia-Pacific or for airlines requiring aircraft for lucrative but thin routes out of the country," Airbus said. "It also provides a more cost-efficient and seamless way to connect to and from international services to domestic and regional destinations." The A220 family has two configurations: A220-100 (100-130 seats) and A220-300 (130-160 seats). Korean Air has 10 A220s in its fleet.
