European Planemaker Airbus<\/a> has initiated a tour of Southeast Asia, showcasing its newest A220 aircraft. The aircraft arrived at the Langkawi International Airshow<\/strong> (LIMA 2023) in Malaysia on May 23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, it will be on static display and will also conduct a demonstration flight for industry guests and media representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIMA 2023, the Official 16th Edition of the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition, is a prominent biennial event that stands as one of the largest exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region for both maritime and aerospace industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newest Airbus Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The A220 is a modern aircraft in its size category, accommodating 100 to 160 passengers on flights covering up to 3,450 nautical miles (6,400km). Its capabilities enable direct non-stop services between various destinations in Malaysia and regional routes to locations like Darwin and Perth in Australia, the Middle East, Tokyo, and Seoul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to previous-generation aircraft of similar size, the A220 achieves a remarkable 25% reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions. This significant improvement aligns with industry objectives to minimize the environmental impact of aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other Airbus aircraft, the A220 is designed to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The planemaker has set a target for all its aircraft to be capable of running on 100% SAF by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus A220 Southeast Asia Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Airbus has leased the aircraft showcased at LIMA 2023 from airBaltic. Further, it boasts a comfortable layout, accommodating 148 seats in a single-class passenger cabin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before arriving in Langkawi, the aircraft made a stop in Kuching, Sarawak, where it underwent refuelling using a 10% blend of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) provided by Neste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After its display at Langkawi, the aircraft will embark on a tour, visiting Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Koh Samui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A220 aircraft is offered in two versions: the -100 variant, which can accommodate between 100 and 130 passengers. Further, the larger -300 variant can seat between 130 and 160 passengers in typical configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the largest cabin, seats, and windows in its class, the A220 provides passengers with exceptional comfort during their journey. The aircraft is equipped with advanced Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this day, Airbus has garnered 785 orders for the A220 and has successfully delivered over 260 aircraft as part of this program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
