ITA Airways A220-300 Delivered in Dublin
ITA Airways A220-300 (EI-HHW) arrived in Dublin on September 17, 2025 — a fresh aircraft for the carrier’s short- and medium-haul fleet.
Italian flag carrier ITA Airways took delivery of an Airbus A220-300, registered EI-HHW, at Dublin Airport on September 17, 2025. The single-aisle A220-300 will join the airline’s short- and medium-haul fleet as part of an ongoing fleet renewal programme and network growth across Europe.
The A220 family is known for fuel efficiency and quieter cabins, traits ITA is leaning on to modernise routes within Italy and across close European markets. The new airframe will help the carrier match capacity to demand while trimming operating costs on regional sectors.
Why the ITA Airways A220-300 matters
Adding EI-HHW strengthens rotation flexibility on short hops and medium sectors, allowing ITA to deploy the A220-300 on thinner routes that previously required larger jets. The move supports timetable resilience and gives passengers a more modern onboard experience on intra-Europe services.
- Aircraft: Airbus A220-300 — registration EI-HHW; delivered to ITA Airways on September 17, 2025 (ITA Airways A220-300).
- Role: Short- and medium-haul operations across ITA’s European network.
- Benefit: Improved fuel efficiency, lower noise footprint, and better seat-mile costs compared with older types.
Operators like ITA are leaning into the A220-300 to replace older regional fleet types and to open or strengthen point-to-point services where demand doesn’t justify larger narrowbodies. While ITA has not published the immediate route plan for EI-HHW, the aircraft will likely enter service on intra-European sectors in the coming weeks as crew transition and certification tasks are completed.
For travellers, the delivery signals gradual fleet refreshment that should translate into newer cabins, improved reliability and a smaller environmental footprint per seat on short hops. Keep an eye on ITA’s schedule notices for the first commercial flights operated by EI-HHW.
