In a hub and spoke system and as airports have less room to just grow, the A220 and similar are ideal replacements to gain lower fuel burn and lower maintenance costs while also meeting current noise limits. In most cases the older planes they are replacing are long paid for and there is little they can do to modernise them for cheaper running costs. At some stage soon, we are likely to see Kerosene taxes being added on as soon as there is an alternative lower carbon fuel on offer and to meet that higher price, kerosene costs must rise higher. Especially as the first taxes will be on internal flights that cannot avoid buying the fuel locally. So fuel efficiency is king as passengers have the annoying habit of disliking being crammed too close together (the middle seat is already hated and harder to sell). Pilots are also "happier" to use more modern cabins with less i/O overload that newer cockpits try to minimise.

O Canada! Hockey and aircraft. What a combo, eh?

On the Boeing attempt to kill the A220 one thing you fail to mention is that ALL manufacturers sell their first batch of a new type at a big loss, to establish the market (Boeing certainly launched the MAX this way). This is necessary simply because the launch customer cannot be sure how the type will perform and so need that incentive. The FTC decision was truly ridiculous and really hurt, not helped, Boeing as its real competitor then bought the model for nothing and made a killing.

Not quite true: When Douglas introduced the DC 9 and Boeing built the original 737, incentives were used, as they are with all airliners; nothing sells for list price. But profit is wired into the long term process because no aircraft maker is going to survive on BOGOs.

For passenger experience, the A-220 wins, hands-down: 1-3" (12-36 mm) wider seats, larger windows placed at eye level, quieter, largest overhead bins among narrow body aircraft, a single center seat, which is actually an inch wider than the plane's other, already wide seats, larger lavatory with window.

The A220 combines the best of Airbus and Boeing flight hardware and flight control software laws. A review by a test pilot (article by Mike Gerzanics) reveals that the CSeries/A220 flies like a Boeing with a sidestick on the pitch axis. The A220's cockpit is very similar to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, both have EICAS, but the radio communication controls on the A220 is placed on the upper autopilot flight control panel, and the aircraft can automatically self-test and go through an automatic checklist to complete its own system startup.

A220: Brighter and more comfortable MAX7: Better theme park experience.

As far as passenger comfort, the wider seats and bigger eye level windows makes the A220 superior to the 737max

Nicely done 👍 Straight statistics are much closer than I thought! The increased efficiency of the A220 is more important to operators than you stated, but those operating large fleets of the larger 737Max’s is also a huge incentive to stick with Boeing. You didn't mention how each type is playing out with the hotly contested regional jet market where operating larger jets isn't a factor? Also I would like to hear your views on how a larger/ longer range A220-500XLR might be received??

MAX 7 is likely targetted at existing 737 NG operators looking to upgrade, but given how the current trend is towards larger narrowbodies, the MAX 7 doesn’t seem to have a bright future. Not to mention that it’s efficiency is compromised because it’s a shrunken model. The MAX 7s likely key advantage is the supply network of spare parts. I’ve read a few things indicating that’s a challenge when it comes to the A220, cause it’s such a new design. Other than that, the A220 is slightly superior given its more optimised to being a fuel efficient small narrowbody. I’ve never flown on one, but people rave about it, bigger windows, bigger ceiling lockers and super quiet ride. These reasons are why i personally prefer the 737 MAX over the A320neo, so i think i’ll enjoy the A220. 2+3 seating is also really nice.

How about the flight deck.? 1965 with some patches vs clean sheet 2000’s tech.

Sale to Bombardier DHC was eventually acquired by Montreal-based Bombardier Aerospace in 1992. DHC was eventually incorporated into the Bombardier group of companies and the Dash 8 remained in production, with a particular emphasis being placed on its quiet operation in comparison to other aircraft of a similar size. This product line was expanded to four models, and the largest is labelled Q400.

The 737 max 7 was basically catered to Southwest. They do need to upgrade their older 737-700s. Is Boeing going to leave their MOST LOYAL customer with no option? Look who ordered it and the amount ordered. Southwest 234 Allegiant 30 WestJet 22 I wonder why shrunken airplanes are always remarked as inefficient.

I'm surprised the MAX 7 has comparable economics to the A220-300. I wasn't expecting that given the MAX is appreciably heavier.

No question passengers would prefer the A220-300 though I've flown the MAX 8 a few times and found it pleasant enough.

I havent watched the video yet. I just clicked and started writing this comment as there is no comparison between the KING 👑 and the last ride vehicle. A220-300 should dominate the short-mid haul flights whereas A220-500 should service mid-long haul flights. I have travelled in both the aircrafts and A220 feels 10x comfortable and safe than the pooeing.

Interesting

A220 is a very nice airplane, but doesn't have enough range. MAX 7 isn't even in service yet. I have flown the MAX 8 twice to Hawaii and am impressed with the quiet cabin, as compared to the NG

The A220 is a much better and comfortable plane than the Boing 737 Crash series.

I'm glad a220 made in USA.

The Boeing 737 MAX needs little introduction. The type has become infamous worldwide, even by those unfamiliar with the aviation industry, after 2 fatal crashes attributed to a flight control system called the Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). The result was sustained nose-down automated flight control inputs that pilots could not overcome. The resulting crashes of JT610 and ET302 killed 346 people in total. What followed was a lengthy grounding and exposure of oversight, leading to massive controversy and severe reputational damage to the aircraft manufacturer, Boeing and the US commercial aviation regulatory body, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). After 20 months of investigations, multiple test flights and software revisions, the 737 MAX was cleared to return to service by the FAA in Dec 2020, after pilots had undergone mandatory simulator training. More than 140 countries and territories have since allowed the aircraft to fly in their airspace and use their airports, the latest being Indonesia, where the 737 MAX saga first entered the public eye.

What no one has revealed is the background and experience of the pilots. I recall the cockpit crew of the Ethiopean plane were very young with little experience. Another factor I have never heard about is why have US, Canadian and other more established countries not reported their carriers having the same issue? Could it be training or time as a pilot having an impact here.

no chance for the Max 7 to be considered a better aircraft! Meanwhile we can expect an A220-500 that would fill the gap maybe with a higher range too.

We are years away from an a220-500 if it's ever launched. For now its just a paper concept, imagination.

The Embraer is worthy opponent of Airbus 220 in this case, rather than the infamous 737.

For shorter flight segments the E190 is a strong competitor on price and operational cost, plus don’t forget the embraer E-jets have a strong reputation for reliability with airlines. But honestly, I think you are wrong if you bet on anything other than the A-220. The A-220 is such a great aircraft that Airbus is afraid it will steal sales from the A320 which is an amazing air frame.

@@michaeldautry Exactly. In Canada, a regional airline (Porter) chose the E190-E2 because they simply do not need the range, while Air Canada is using the A220-300 as a replacement for their A319 fleet, flying 5 hour+ transcontinental flights.

Yes yes not to forget the fact that C series or A220 never had crashes while in the mean time boeing 737 max had 2 and both fatal.

Intuitively, a 2-3 seat layout would give a balance issue when it comes to weight distribution; but presumably this is somehow catered for. How does that work?

As a passenger, there's no way you can like the 737 over the 220. I'm almost to the point of not flying Southwest anymore.

As for maximum weights, apart from ground/landing fees, etc. they really are meaningless for the purposes of this type of comparison. It is how much over and above the weight of the aircraft it can carry that matters. Unless you are an airline flying other 737 or A320 series variants, I would have thought it was no-brainer to choose the A220. When the dash 500 eventually surfaces, I wonder if they will remain with P&W, or look at the LEAP engines?

One plane is very popular with passengers and has been in service for several years, the other hasn't entered service and has had a faulty software system onboard, just saying😏

Boeing today looks more like a struggling Soviet era manufacturer, looking for state intervention at every turn to prop up their lack of competitiveness, whilst accusing everyone else of 'state intervention.'

this video needs to be updated. the 737 max7 has encountered more problems, including that of the engines. but really, the 220 is so much better, given that it is a newer design than the decades old jurassic 737 design.

Comparison between great technology & flying coffin.

the only advantage that the 737 Max 7 has on the A220 is government lobbying and closer corporate relationship with US based airlines.

Perhaps the ability not to crash has something to do with orders.

As a passenger I’d take the A220 a hundred times over. Such a great plane. I love whenever I get to ride it. I don’t feel the same way about the 737 lol

A220 had a lot of groundings

bigger window, 2 seats each side. A220 for me

Why didn't the writers compared both platforms; for example that the 737 is dates back to the 60's and that with most certainty, the 737 MAX is going to be the last iteration on this platform. Meanwhile, the A220 is a clean-sheat design that is the first iteration and that more models (like the A220-500) and future iterations are expected. This may have an impact on an airline, as it is not only the number of passengers and range that is important, but also pilot training, fleet flexibility and of course, availability of improved aircraft in the future.

.. And the funny thing is: Boing could have simply bought the C100 etc. to replace it's old 737 design with a modern plane. And they messed it up with the MAX 🤣😂
