This article describes sales, lists orders and deliveries for the Airbus A220 family aircraft currently in production by Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (ACLP), a joint venture between Airbus and Investissement Québec.
The five-abreast narrow-body airliner was marketed as Bombardier CSeries prior to its acquisition by Airbus in 2018 and has since been marketed as the Airbus A220. The small variant A220-100 (formerly CS100) competes with the Embraer E195-E2 and the smaller E190-E2, while the longer variant A220-300 (formerly CS300) complements the Airbus A319neo in competing against the Boeing 737-700 and now-certified 737 MAX 7.
Orders and deliveries
By type The A220 family has a market share of more than 55% in the small commercial aircraft sector .. In May 2026, the total order for the A220 family exceeded 1,000 aircraft. It has 1,110 firm orders from 35 customers, of which AirAsia is the largest with 150 orders, and a total of 542 aircraft have been delivered .
In May 2026, AirAsia placed a record order of 150 A220-300 and became the first customer for a 160 seat configuration of A220-300. The order was important because it confirmed the aircraft's ability to serve both premium regional sector and the low-cost sector, which was seen as "one of the most strategically important developments for the programme since airBaltic transformed the aircraft from a niche regional jet into a globally recognised narrowbody success story."

Sales history Below is the sales history in text, table and graph form, most of which were non-firm orders.
A220 family (2018 - present) 2018
After the partnership took effect on 1 July 2018, the main stakeholder Airbus assisted in marketing and servicing of the aircraft. On 10 July 2018, hours after the CSeries programme was renamed A220, JetBlue Airways ordered 60 A220-300s (former CS300) to replace its 60 Embraer 190s from 2020 with 40% lower fuel burn per seat, a blow to Embraer which was marketing the E195-E2 to the carrier. Priced at $5.4 billion before customary discounts, they should be delivered from Mobile, Alabama, some could be converted to the A220-100 (former CS100) and 60 options are pending from 2025. JetBlue found the two models very close economically, as the A220-300 fuel seat cost is 40% lower than its current E190 and operating cost per seat excluding fuel are 22% lower.
Since July 2018, Airbus has promoted the A220 to airlines in Southeast Asia in particular, highlighting low operating costs for regional jet operators and low seat-mile costs for the low-cost carriers that dominate this price-sensitive market. Airbus believes that the A220 has a role to play in the rise of point-to-point traffic in the region, especially on new routes with thin initial demand.
2019
In January 2019, confirmation of sales to JetBlue and Moxy Airways (later Breeze Airways) pushed the A220 order backlog to more than double that of the slightly larger A319neo. Delta Air Lines ordered 15 further A220s for a total of 90 until 2023, including a conversion of 50 to the larger 130-seat A220-300 from 2020. Airbus acknowledged that competition between the A220-300 and the A319neo was resulting in fewer A319 orders, but confirmed that the A319neo will not be discontinued. In May 2019, a Delta Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificate report indicated the A220-100 mean appraised value was $34.1 million per aircraft, but there was wide variation.
At the Paris Air Show 2019, Air Lease Corporation (ALC) signed a letter of intent for 50 A220-300s, thus becoming the first major leasing company to order the type. In July 2019, Air France–KLM announced a commitment for 60 A220-300s, plus options for a further 60 aircraft, to be delivered from September 2021 to replace Air France's A318 and A319 fleet. Air France noted its interest in converting some orders to a stretched variant of the A220. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) would bring the backlog to a total of 611 aircraft, although up to 110 of these are indefinitely deferred "ghost" orders recorded before the Airbus partnership. On 14 October 2019, Air Austral, France's Réunion Island-based airline, signed a firm order for three A220-300 aircraft as part of the renewal of its Medium and Short Haul fleet. At the November 2019 Dubai Air Show, the flag carrier Air Senegal signed an MoU for eight A220-300s, the airline's largest order so far. On 18 December 2019, the Air France–KLM airline holding company finally firmed up order for 60 Airbus A220s.
2020
In January 2020, the leading lessor of regional aircraft Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) officially finalised an order for 20 A220 aircraft. The MoU was signed in June 2019 at the Paris Air Show and it was counted in the 2019 order-book because the corresponding firm order was signed at the end of 2019. Also in January 2020, Air Senegal finalised its order for eight A220-300s, the MoU of which the airline signed in November 2019 at the Dubai Air Show.
In October 2020, Southwest Airlines, an all-Boeing carrier since establishment and the world's largest operator of the 737 family, announced that it was considering the A220 beside the yet-to-be-certified 737 MAX 7 to replace its 737-700 fleet from 2025. The speculation ended however in March 2021, when the airline announced an order for 100 Boeing 737 MAX 7 and said that negotiations with Airbus were never initiated. In December 2020, Air France's CEO, Ben Smith, said that a stretched A220 would be ideal to replace its larger narrow-bodies, the A320 and A321, but that if it is not developed on time, the company might consider the 737 MAX.
2021
In the monthly orders and deliveries report for March 2021, Airbus announced that an undisclosed customer had ordered 20 A220-300s, bringing a total of 649 A220 aircraft to order. Later, on 13 September 2021, Breeze Airways confirmed the order of additional 20 A220-300s, bringing its total orders up to 80 aircraft of this type, second behind Delta. On 21 July 2021, the third day of the Moscow International Airshow (MAKS), Russian independent carrier Azimuth Airlines signed a leasing agreement for six A220-300s with ALC. It was the first order since the aircraft secured certification from the country's federal aviation regulator Rosaviatsia. In September 2021, Airbus China entered into talks with the Civil Aviation Administration of China over the A220's certification in the country, as some airlines from the western part of the country expressed their interest for the jetliner. With a passenger seat capacity between the Comac ARJ21 regional jet and the Comac C919 narrow-body, the Airbus A220 could become an attractive option for the Chinese aviation market.
At the Dubai Air Show in November 2021, the first major air show since the COVID-19 pandemic began, ALC and Ibom Air ordered 25 and 10 A220s, respectively. On 1 December 2021, ITA Airways, Italy's new flag carrier, firmed up an order for seven A220s, 11 A320neos and 10 A330neos, which confirmed the MOU announced in September. On 17 December 2021, Qantas selected the A220 as well as A320neo families as the preferred airliner for the long-term renewal of its domestic narrow-body fleet. A firm commitment for 20 A220-300s with purchase right options for the smaller A220-100 to replace the Boeing 717 fleet of QantasLink is expected to be placed by the end of 2022.
