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 CS100 becoming the A220-100 and the CS300 becoming the A220-300.
- The A220 is optimized for the 100 to 150-seat market, complementing Airbus's existing A320neo family and aligning with its larger jet naming convention.
- This renaming follows Airbus's acquisition of a majority stake in the CSeries program and intensifies rivalry with Boeing, which recently announced a deal to take over Embraer's commercial jetliner business.
