Stretched A220 could co-exist with A320neo: programme chief

Airbus anticipates sufficient sector demand to support both the existing A220 and a stretched variant, according to Christoph Zammert, Airbus’s A320 family program head. Despite a clear preference for the current A220 over the A319neo, Airbus believes there is room in the market for an extended A220 alongside the A320neo. Zammert stated that this co-existence would be viable due to strong sector demand. Airbus has not yet made a formal commitment to developing a larger A220 variant at this time. The discussion centered on leveraging existing demand within the A320 family to accommodate additional aircraft configurations.
