Air Canada becomes launch customer for A220 Airbus Airspace cabin
April 9, 2025
Air Canada has announced it will be the launch customer for the new Airbus Airspace cabin on the A220 family of aircraft, with the first deliveries featuring the upgraded interior expected in early 2026.
The latest evolution of the A220 cabin includes Airbus’ new XL overhead bins, which increase storage space by over 15%, a redesigned ceiling, and enhanced lighting.
The cabin upgrade coincides with a wider refresh of Air Canada’s onboard product, including updated interiors and improvements to seatback entertainment systems.
“The A220 has already become a favourite among our customers, and we’re thrilled to be the launch customer for the next cabin evolution of this Canadian-designed and assembled aircraft. At Air Canada, we’re always looking for opportunities to evolve our products and make travel more comfortable and convenient. The introduction of larger overhead bins on future A220s means more space for your belongings, quicker boarding, and an even better experience on board,” said John Moody, Managing Director, Onboard Product, at Air Canada.
“We are extremely happy to launch the A220 Airspace cabin with Air Canada and very proud the Canadian flag carrier is introducing our latest innovation to support its fleet renewal programme. Through the introduction of the A220 Airspace cabin, we now enable a fully consistent passenger experience on all our platforms providing widebody comfort on single aisle aircraft,” added Ingo Wuggetzer, Vice President of Cabin Marketing at Airbus.
Air Canada currently operates 34 A220-300 aircraft, all built at Airbus’s facility in Mirabel, Quebec.
The airline has an additional 31 A220s on order, which will feature the new Airspace cabin.
