Never content to let arch-rival Boeing have a moment in the sun, Airbus made headlines today by renaming the Bombardier CSeries jet the Airbus A220.
Airbus Renames Bombardier CSeries A220
Key Takeaways:
- Airbus has officially rebranded the Bombardier CSeries jets as the Airbus A220, integrating them into its existing naming convention.
- The former CS100 and CS300 models will now be known as the A220-100 and A220-300, designed for the 100 to 150-seat market.
- This renaming follows Airbus's acquisition of a majority stake in the CSeries program, with U.S.-bound A220s to be assembled in Alabama.
- The rebranding is seen in the context of intense rivalry with Boeing, which recently announced a deal to take over Embraer's commercial jetliner business.
