These 3 US Airports See The Most Airbus A220 Flights

The Airbus A220 started out in life as the Canadian Bombardier CSeries and was developed to compete with aircraft like the Boeing 737 MAX 7 . However, the strain of developing the aircraft forced Bombardier to sell the aircraft to Airbus , which renamed it the Airbus A220 . The five-abreast narrowbody aircraft has proven popular with some American carriers and has attracted buyers around the world.

Here is what to know about the three airports set to see the most Airbus A220 flights in April, according to data provided by Cirium , an aviation analytics company. Boston Logan In April 2025, Boston Logan International Airport is scheduled to operate a total of 1,480 flights. These will carry a total of 195,299 seats.



Of the three top A220 US airports, Boston flights also operate the longest routes at an average of 1,040 miles. Boston Logan (fully General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport) is the US airport to boast the most Airbus A220 flights in April. It is one of the major US airports and has a total of six runways with four passenger terminals.

Boston Logan's A220's flights in April: Number of flights: 1,480 flights Average miles: 1,040 miles Total seats: 195,299 seats Boston Logan has a large number of transatlantic flights, including JetBlue flights with narrowbody A321 aircraft. Logan first opened in 1923 and is today the largest airport in the New England region by a considerable margin. It handled a total of 43.

5 million passengers in 2024. Notably, Logan is the northeastern hub for Cape Air and a secondary transatlantic hub for Delta Air Lines as well as an operating base for JetBlue. According to Boston Logan's website , the airport saw 6,514 domestic commuter flights in February and 16,095 domestic jet flights.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Delta Air Lines as by far the dominant airline at Logan with a 73.21% market share. Other airlines include Southwest at 8.

4%, Frontier at 3.9%, Endeavor at 3.7%, Spirit at 3.

7%, and other airlines at 7.1%. The plane was also known as FTV1.

New York-JFK is scheduled to operate a total of 1,353 flights carrying 184,984 seats, flying an average of 883 miles. JFK is the most connected airport in the United States and is one of the top international airports serving the country.

It attracts many foreign carriers from around the world, including many widebody aircraft like the Airbus A380 Superjumbo. New York-JFK's A220's flights in April: Number of flights: 1,353 flights Average miles: 883 miles Total seats: 184,984 seats By comparison, La Guardia is the fourth busiest US A220 airport with a total of 779 flights and 90,161, or around half of that of JFK. While Delta doesn't command the same dominant market share at JFK as it does at Boston Logan, it still has the largest market share at 33.

4%. This is closely followed by JetBlue with a market share of 32.2%.

These are the two largest US operators of the A220. Other airlines at the airport include American Airlines with a 12.9% share, Endeavor with a 7.

It received over 28 million passengers in 2024, a 5% decrease compared to the year prior.

Salt Lake City's A220's flights in April: Number of flights: 1,047 flights Average miles: 715 miles Total seats: 127,657 seats Once again, Delta Air Lines is the dominant airline at this airport. According to the BTS , Delta has an absolute majority of 57.1% of the market share in Salt Lake City.

It is followed by SkyWest with its 14.2% share, Southwest and its 11.4% share, American and its 4.

Other busy US airports for A220 flights The busiest airports in the United States for scheduled Airbus A220 flights in April mirror familiar major US airports. Although some airports are notable for their absence from the list.

Examples of major airports not to make the top twenty busiest US A220 airports include Los Angeles, Miami, and Atlanta. Conversely, smaller airports to receive enough A220 flights to make it onto the top twenty list include Santa Ana in California, Providence in Rhode Island, and Hartford in Connecticut. Top ten busiest US A220 airports: Number of flights (April per Cirium): Average miles: Boston Logan: 1,480 1,040 New York-JFK: 1,353 883 Salt Lake City: 1,047 715 New York-La Guardia: 779 1,158 Seattle: 775 1,301 Dallas-Fort Worth: 578 1,298 Orlando: 508 996 Chicago-O'Hare: 474 918 Fort Myers: 461 1,108 Tampa: 425 906 The second half of the top twenty list includes a mixture of major and smaller US airports.

The eleventh to twentieth airports are Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Raleigh/Durham, Houston-Intercontinental, Denver, Charleston, Santa Ana, Providence, Hartford, San Francisco, and Jacksonville. The two airports from where Airbus A220s operate the longest on-average flights are Las Vegas (at 1,854 miles) and Los Angeles (at 1,832 miles). However, A220 flights from these airports are limited to just 98 and 76 flights scheduled for April respectively.

After LAX and Las Vegas, there is a drop in distance with Austin coming in second with an average distance of 1,588 miles. Multiple people have sustained injuries. Airbus A220 orders and operators The Airbus A220 comes in two variants, the Airbus A220-100 and the Airbus A220-300 .

Of these, the A220-300 has been by far the most popular variant, having attracted a total of 806 orders compared to 98 orders for the A220-100. It competes with some variants of the Boeing 737 MAX family as well as Embraer E-Jets. Of these orders, around 400 have been fulfilled, including around 79 A220-100s and 339 A220-300s.

The smaller -100 has a max seating of 135 passengers and a max take-off weight of 63.7 tonnes. The -300 has a max seating of 160 passengers and a max take-off weight of 70.

9 tonnes. However, the smaller A220-100 has a slightly longer range, able to fly 3,600 nautical miles compared to the A220-300's 3,400 nautical mile range. Delta Air Lines, the largest operator Delta Air Lines is currently the largest operator of the A220 and has around 76 examples in its fleet of around 1,000 aircraft.

These are divided into 45 Airbus A220-100s and 31 Airbus A220-300s. This means Delta operates most of the world's A220-100s currently in service. Delta's A220-100 fleet is an average of 5.

3 years old, while the A220-300 fleet is an average of 2.3 years old. Delta's A220-300 aircraft come with 12 business class seats, 30 Delta Comfort+ seats, and 88 Main Cabin seats for a total of 130 seats - that is 30 seats below their maximum capacity.

Meanwhile, Delta's A220-100 aircraft have 12 business class seats, 15 Delta Comfort+ seats, and 82 Main Cabin seats, or a total of 109 seats. That is 26 seats below the aircraft's maximum carrying capacity. Overall, Delta is ordering 145 of the aircraft, and that looks set to ensure it remains the largest operator of the type.

It was the first operator of the A220-100 in North America. JetBlue, the second-largest operator However, Delta is not the only large operator of the A220 in the United States. As a respectable second, JetBlue is currently operating around 45 aircraft and has placed orders for a total of 100 aircraft.

These are replacing the airline's older Embraer 190 fleet. JetBlue says , " Dontcha just love that new plane smell? Our A220 has just made its runway debut, with wider seats, picturesque windows, huge overhead bins and refreshed restrooms—and the latest tech and entertainment to make your trek even more enjoyable ." These are configured with 140 seats.

Breeze, the third-largest operator The third significant US operator of the A220 is Breeze Airways. According to ch-aviation , Breeze operates 39 A220-300s and plans to operate a total of 95, having placed another order in 2024. Breeze only operates the A220-300 variant and these are configured with 12 Breeze Ascent seats, 45 "Extra Legroom Seats", and 80 Standard Seats.

The only other large North American operator of the type is Air Canada , which currently has a fleet of around 34 aircraft and orders for a total of 65. In Air Canada's service, it is replacing the older Embraer 190s and older Airbus A320s. Air Canada was the first North American carrier to operate the A220-300 variant.

It should come as little surprise that the airports seeing the most Airbus A220 flights are also the airports where Delta, JetBlue, and Breeze have significant operations..
