Airbus is working on getting a new higher density version of the A220-300 certified. This will happen thanks to an extra set of exits over the wings, and it’ll boost the plane’s maximum capacity from 149 seats to 160 seats.

I'm summary:

Cram 2 more rows in
Add extra emergency door over wing
Add extra flight attendant
Tilt seats from 30" to 28"

They're still doing seats? I'm excited for when some braniac discovers people will still pay for a flight when they have to stand the whole way.
