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, with the smaller CS100 becoming the A220-100 and the larger CS300 becoming the A220-300.
- This strategic renaming integrates the 100-150 seat market aircraft into Airbus's existing product family and complements its A320neo line.
- The move follows Airbus's acquisition of a majority stake in the CSeries program and intensifies its rivalry with Boeing, which recently acquired Embraer's commercial jetliner division.
