Europe-based global aerospace group Airbus reports that its smallest airliner family, the A220, is proving a most useful asset, particularly in this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Airbus acquired the A220 programme from Canadian group Bombardier, which had designated it the C-Series. “We have seen that while most airlines have put jet orders on hold during the pandemic, our A220 fleet has remained one of the most active due to its small size and low operating costs,” Airbus President: Africa and the Middle East Mikail Houari tells Engineering News. “This aircraft is proving to be an asset as airlines look to cut costs with major airlines like Delta keeping their A220 fleet flying and nearly 50% of the global fleet is still flying.”
