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 product line (A220-100 and A220-300).
- This renaming follows Airbus acquiring a majority stake in the CSeries program and positions the A220 to perfectly complement its A320neo family by targeting the 100-150 seat market.
- U.S.-bound A220 jets will be assembled at Airbus's Alabama factory, intensifying its rivalry with Boeing, which recently acquired Embraer's commercial airliner division.
