The Airbus A220 is currently preparing for a major upgrade, although the manufacturer is falling short of launching a new variant altogether. Starting in 2026, new Airbus A220 deliveries will be outfitted with the manufacturer’s Airspace interior, aligning the A220 with the interior feel of the A350, A330neo, and A320neo. Highlights include new upgraded extra-large overhead lockers, which will be around 20% lighter while offering more than 15% additional baggage capacity. These aircraft will also feature 16-million-color LED lighting, allowing airlines to tailor their brand or flight phases. Airbus also plans on offering this unique interior as a retrofit option for existing Airbus A220 customers.
