INFORMATION
The Airbus A220 is a family of five-abreast narrow-body airliner, which was originally designed by Bombardier Aerospace and had two years in service as the Bombardier CSeries. Powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan engines, the twinjet has fly-by-wire flight controls, a carbon composite wing and an aluminium-lithium fuselage.

The smaller variant (A220-100, formerly CS100), seating 108 to 133, made its maiden flight on 16 September 2013, was awarded an initial type certification by Transport Canada on 18 December 2015, and entered service on 15 July 2016 with launch operator Swiss Global Air Lines. The longer variant (A220-300, formerly CS300), seating 130 to 160, first flew on 27 February 2015, received an initial type certification on 11 July 2016, and entered service with airBaltic on 14 December 2016. Both launch operators recorded better-than-expected fuel burn and dispatch reliability, as well as positive feedback from passengers and crew.

In July 2018, the aircraft was rebranded as the A220 after Airbus acquired 50.01% of the program through a joint venture, which was later renamed Airbus Canada Limited Partnership. In August 2019, a second final assembly line opened at Airbus Mobile in Alabama, supplementing the main facility in Mirabel, Quebec. In February 2020, Airbus increased its share to 75% as Bombardier exited the program, while the Quebec government's Investissement Québec held the 25% balance. The A220 family then complements the A319neo in the Airbus range and competes with the largest variants of the Embraer E-Jet E2 family and the smaller Boeing 737 MAX-7 variant.

As of August 2021, a total of 643 aircraft had been ordered of which 177 had been delivered and were all in commercial service.[3] Delta Air Lines is the largest customer and operator, with 95 A220 ordered and respectively 50 airplanes in its fleet.[4]
