LATAM / A220-300


LATAM / A220-300

LATAM (Formally LAN and TAM) is an airline group with subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru.

With the Delta's takeover, and with the need of an aircraft to replace the A319s (+ my biased against the E-Jet E2s), the A220 seems like reasonable replacement.



    God I wish. Well with 6 majorish airlines now interested/close to ordering it's not unlikely

    What do you have against the E2s? Also this looks great!

    Also, the grey on the tail seems to be a tad too dark.

    The E2 is not aesthetically pleasing as the A220 (or the E1s). Proportions look completely wrong. Also, when it comes to passenger comfort, it is (or at least feels) very cramped. Feels worse than the E1s for some reason, and it's not as comfortable to be in as the A220.

     

    To summarise, I would go out of my way to fly the A220, but would try to avoid the E2.

     

    Regarding the colour, I know it's a little too dark. I tried matching to pictures, but the grey is different depending on the light. I went for one in the official colour pallet, but I guess I should have used the lighter shade, not the darker one. I may fix it soon. :)

    That was temporary and SWISS is putting them back in service after one day of cancellations. 

    BTW- There is a new and improved A220 template

    Thanks! I wasn't aware. I will update the livery in the new template soon.
