In particular, visitors to the A220 mock-up will experience the aircraft’s passenger-pleasing features including wide seats and aisle, high-capacity overhead baggage stowage and large windows.
For journalists in particular:
- Airbus will host a dedicated briefing for the trade press and also for the national and regional media attending the show, on Tuesday 25 at 09:25 (local time). This will include news, ‘pax-ex’ developments and new connected-cabin technologies. In addition, all Airbus aircraft cabins will be presented in full 3D using VR headsets.
Airbus’ space-efficient concepts go beyond new products: Airbus’ Upgrade Services will present its range of retrofit solutions and services. Cabin experts and executives will be available for dedicated media briefings and interview opportunities each day.
