Across different airlines, strategists work hard to crunch numbers to decide which types of aircrafts could help translate their profitability visions into reality taking into consideration operating environment factors, economic considerations and passenger experience.<\/p>\n<p>Even in Malaysia, It is not uncommon to see airlines like Malaysia Airlines taking a long time deciding on future aircraft orders while airlines like AirAsia sticking to a single type\/family of aircraft as they have found their sweet spot.<\/p>\n<p>As a Malaysian-based aviation blogger, it is a pretty exciting time when an aircraft manufacturer tries to market their range of products, especially a new aircraft type into a rather dull jetliner and turboprops scene here in Malaysia. So when the A220 made a stop in Malaysia earlier this year, it created quite a buzz in the little aviation scene as it might fits well for one if not both the major operators in Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>I was invited (thank you Airbus!) to have a look at the Airbus A220 and I was somewhat convince that this regional jet could be a game changer here in Malaysia. Read on for my take on the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/1-36.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-36.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-36-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-36-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Note: while the invitation to visit the aircraft was extended by Airbus, I was not required to write about it and since I thought it would be nice to share the experience, this would rather be a casual non-bias kind of \u201creview\u201d of the A220.<\/p>\n<p>For those who are not familiar, the A220 was not born as an Airbus. Back in 2013, Canadian manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace successfully built and flown the first Bombardier CSeries flight. Fast forward to end 2017, Bombardier formed a partnership around the C-series programme with Airbus taking up 50.1% stake. Eventually in June 2018, the C-Series jets were rebranded to be in-line with Airbus products with the CS100 becoming A220-100 and CS300 renamed to A220-300.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23157\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/2-36.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-36.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-36-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-36-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the sexy A220-300 is the one that came to KL.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/3-36.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3-36.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3-36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3-36-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3-36-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It did not take long before I start bugging the Airbus\u2019s reps with some FAQs starting with \u201chow common is the aircraft vs the well-planned and uniformed Airbus models?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23159\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23159\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/4-36.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/4-36.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/4-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/4-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/4-36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/4-36-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/4-36-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23159\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(me trying to look smart)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is to some extend shares the same features and advancement Airbus has to offer while retaining the uniqueness of its original DNA of C-series modern jetliner.

Specially designed for the A220, this engines allow ] 20% lower fuel burn per seat than previous-generation aircraft, half the noise footprint, and decreased emissions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/17-32.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/17-32.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/17-32-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/17-32-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/17-32-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/17-32-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/17-32-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The guests enjoying the demo flight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23174\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/18-32.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/18-32.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/18-32-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/18-32-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/18-32-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/18-32-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/18-32-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A view of the overhead compartment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/19-34.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/19-34.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/19-34-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/19-34-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/19-34-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/19-34-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/19-34-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Something the cabin crew would appreciate.

I was even joking about how I think A220 sounds like a typo when they first announced it. But having experienced the demo flight, I see a potential on where this plane can be positioned, tapping into certain commercial segments that might be too new or too small for planes like 737 or A320. I hope that the A220 can be considered shall Firefly jet makes a comeback, or Malaysia Airlines thinking of replacing some its 737 or even if AirAsia need a different fleet to serve its lesser demand routes. In the end, we Malaysians would love a bit of variety in our aviation scene and would be great to see our airlines making money with the right planes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23179\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/23-24.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/23-24.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/23-24-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/23-24-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/23-24-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/23-24-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/23-24-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s competitive airlines scene, having the right match of innovative products and lucrative routes could spell the difference between a sustainable business or a deeper hole on an operator\u2019s pocket.
