exactly what i was saying.. A220 has 500 orders vs around 1500 orders for A321.... We needed good reliable 200 +/- seats capacity aircraft like yesterday...
PIA to have a new look by April 2015: chairman
- Thread starter A.Rafay
- Start date
The A321 is a different aircraft. It's meant for longer range operations with more passengers. The 321 is the big competitor for the 737 Max (and right now it's winning rather largely). The extra orders will come, break even point if I heard correctly is about 200 aircraft, so the A220 series will be very competitive long term against smaller planes like the Max 7 and
I agree.
In my original post a few days back i also suggested that pia opts for A321, A220-300 and 777. A220 seats 160 people in all economy configuration and can fly within the country and to anywhere in gulf and adjoining regions. This would free up a320/a321 to fly almost to 80% of all the routes catered by PIA.
A220 is a newer design, far more comfortable and relatively economical for in country flights where a321 seating 220 +/- is not required.
