And Airbus announce agreement to advance A220 passenger comfort

Airbus and 3M have announced an agreement aimed at advancing passenger comfort on the Airbus A220 through improved thermal and acoustic insulation. The long-term supply deal, announced June 23, 2026, calls for 3M to provide cabin insulation solutions designed to support both operational performance and a quieter environment. The thermal materials are intended to help improve how the aircraft performs in service, while acoustic insulation integrated throughout the cabin is meant to absorb and reduce engine and airframe noise. 3M is also expanding its existing collaboration with Airbus across other value-added programs beyond the A220. The companies plan to continue working together on future materials innovations to support airlines over the aircraft’s lifecycle.
