So sad that Trump in 2017 tried to kill Bombardier with 292% tariffs because the cseries aircraft was a threat for Boeing, which was the nail on the coffin for Bombardier that was already going through hard times financially. So it had to sell most of the program to Airbus…
Good news for Canada nonetheless.

That’s from October last year. Thanks Carney!
Thats a huge order. Our PM is coming through.
I’ve flown on this plane a few times it’s great. I wish we didn’t sell it to Airbus, but I’m happy it got to live because it’s special
I just hope Airbus has a future for large airplane manufacturing in Canada.
The a220 doesn’t really fit in with the rest of its technology yet it still fits very well in terms of its size and the type of routes it does.
A replacement for the a220 makes complete sense manufactured in Canada but with Airbus technology and parts.
