These New Planes Could Change the Way You Travel
The Airplanes That Will Define Air Travel in 2023 and Beyond
To survive in these challenging times, airlines needed bigger, better, and faster airplanes that could profitably fly passengers as well as mail. New navigation and communications equipment was also required to enhance safety and efficiency. But as air travel recovers, airlines and aircraft manufacturers are coming up with new models, plus new features on existing ones (such as expanded premium economy sections and improved fuel efficiency) that might make fliers feel good, heck even excited, about boarding a plane again
A three-by-two configuration on the A220 allows for wider seats
A plane that seats between 100 and 150 passengers on bread-and-butter domestic runs doesn’t sound like a game-changer, but a growing number of fans say the Airbus A220 is just that. Why? It’s got seats that are around 18.5 inches wide and a two-by-three seating layout—unlike the typical narrowbody three-by-three configuration and standard seat width of 17 inches. More windows (two per row on each side of the plane) and spacious overhead bins are also adding to the jet’s popularity.
A Demand for Premium International Air Travel is on the Rise
Enter the 777X, which the plane-maker says is a worthy heir to that legacy. It is billed as the largest jet in the world that can operate with only two engines and as such, is far more economical to operate than either the four-engine 747 or the A380. Promoted by Boeing as the biggest and best of the whole 777 product line, the “X” model can carry between 384 and 426 passengers in a multi-class layout. And while it lacks that distinctive hump, it does have one unusual feature—a unique, folding wing that bends up at a right angle so the jet can squeeze into tight airport gates. Additionally, passengers will notice such features as a wider cabin, dimmable windows, and plus-size overhead bins.Eight airlines, including Ana, Emirates, Qatar, and Lufthansa, have ordered the jet, which was originally set to launch into service in 2020
