Airbus will introduce a Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS) for its A220-100 and A220-300 models starting in 2027, enhancing safety and compliance with ICAO guidelines. The system will calculate stopping distances and alert pilots if runway lengths are insufficient. Additionally, Airbus plans to increase the A220's Maximum Takeoff Weight and improve onboard connectivity by 2028, aiming for all aircraft to be compatible with Sustainable Aviation Fuel by 2030, while concerns about the feasibility of a stretched A220 variant persist.
