    Airbus is working on getting a new higher density version of the A220-300 certified. This will happen thanks to an extra set of exits over the wings, and it’ll boost the plane’s maximum capacity from 149 seats to 160 seats.

    I’m summary:

    • Cram 2 more rows in
    • Add extra emergency door over wing
    • Add extra flight attendant
    • Tilt seats from 30" to 28"

    They’re still doing seats? I’m excited for when some braniac discovers people will still pay for a flight when they have to stand the whole way.
