Boeing 757 Replacement: Airbus A220 & Comac C919 (2026+)

Airlines retiring Boeing 757s after 2026 will likely choose between the Airbus A220-300 and the Comac C919, both offering comparable range but with different operating costs—the A220 currently priced around $90 million, while the C919 aims for $75 million. This shift impacts routes like transatlantic flights from cities such as New York and London, potentially affecting ticket prices by 5-10% due to fleet modernization.
