The Synaptic A220 Is Out: Thirteen of Our Airlines Fly It

Synaptic Simulations has released its Airbus A220-300 for Microsoft Flight Simulator today. The aircraft is available on the in-sim Marketplace for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024, published in partnership with iniBuilds. The project started in 2021 as the open source A22X and has grown into a detailed simulation of the type, including a custom fly-by-wire implementation, a PW1500G engine model and a recreation of the Pro Line Fusion avionics suite.

The A220 is well represented in our network: thirteen of our airlines operate the type, with 242 aircraft between them. When booking a flight with any of these airlines you can select one of their A220s on the dispatch page:

• Air Austral (1 aircraft)
• Air Baltic (26 aircraft)
• Air Canada (27 aircraft)
• Air France (21 aircraft)
• Austrian (5 aircraft)
• Breeze Airways (19 aircraft)
• Delta Air Lines (61 aircraft)
• Egyptair (2 aircraft)
• ITA Airways (2 aircraft)
• JetBlue Airways (22 aircraft)
• Korean Air (10 aircraft)
• Skytravel (3 aircraft)
• Swiss (43 aircraft)

Most of these are A220-300s, the variant Synaptic has released. Delta Air Lines and Swiss also operate the smaller A220-100; Synaptic has announced that variant as a later paid update.

To mark the release we have added a new award: Type Rated: A220. Complete your first accepted flight on the A220 and the patch is yours. Pilots who had already logged an A220 flight have received the award automatically.
