Well, actually, it's been competing with the Airbus 110 and Airbus 320's so the future of the C-series is still in question. The Airbus deal was necessary due to Boeing's manipulation of the US toddler government but it was still a bad but necessary deal for Bombardier and though a great deal for Airbus, they really don't need it.

I had the chance to fly on it with AirBaltic when it was still called the CS300. Although its revolutionary efficiency is its main selling point you forgot to mention the passenger comfort factor which makes it a win-win for both passengers and airlines. Other aircraft of this segment like the A320neo and the 737s are absolutely crammed in coach. This is where the A220 excels. The unusual, 2-3 seating configuration with a wider middle seat (at least on AirBaltic), huge windows, quiet cabin and airy cabin makes that A220 the first choice of any frequent flyer.

Too bad Bombardier couldn’t make the program a success on their own as I was keen for them to break the Airbus-Boeing duopoly for single aisles. While I am glad to see the plane successful under Airbus, it means there is even less negotiating power to lower the prices compared to before when it was in Bombardier’s hands because before the Delta big order and the whole tariffs thing it gave Boeing and Airbus the chance to offer even lower prices to key valuable customers who Bombardier tried to sell the plane to

Airbus could probably have beaten it, as said in the video the fuel consumption isn't that far off from a A320 and none of those constructors construct their own engines anyways. It just take a decade or more to design and start productions of planes and they took a bad bet with the hub system and the A380 so they needed a quick fix. It was a great move for Airbus but more of a shortcut to reinforce their share of that more & more popular market than anything.

Boeing was entirely correct to file their dumping complaint with the FTC, and had a reasonable request that they tariff it to the actual cost of building at $30m per unit.

And can become an orphant if the manufacturer stops building it (or if BBD goes bangkrupt). -->> Every totally new aircraft programs are sold at a loss in the beginning, don't you know that?? --> That dumping complaint was dis-honest to start off, as Boeing did NOT make any aircraft in the CS100 category, nor did it offer any in the Delta's request for proposal (except for some second hand Brazillian built E190E1s - which Delta did buy from Boeing, but resold right after). Boeing elected to re-engine / patch the old 737 instead of making a new narrowbody aircraft. They also elected to vacate the below 150 seats market (now taken by the CSeries). Really, Boeing deserve 100% their current situation. Boeing executives openly said they wanted to bangkrupt Bombardier. Anyways to acheive it was fair game apparently.

Proud to be Canadian since this jet was originally Canadian made and Airbus is doing a well thought program for it.

Even back in the 90s Bombardier stated it would not build an aircraft in this size range unless it could build one superior to anything else out there. What is often forgotten is that Bombardier was competing with Embraer and Embraer had aircraft in this side category but Bombardier was reluctant to go into the category without some clear advantage in design. So in some sense Bombardier was under pressure to build such and aircraft. That said the US response was to insure there would be no competition in design or engineering in Canada putting a near 400% tariff on a plane that did not even compete with any of their products. It is also a fact that Boeing is the most subsidized company in the US. This was particularly made more difficult when the extra cost Bombardier had to accept developing a superior aircraft. So the American government succeeded in destroy one of Canada's biggest companies while being rewarded by having a portion of the 220 being built in the US. This leaves Canada as a either a branch plant or component producing company with no design or engineering of our own. Economists keep claiming countries must innovate, but how is that done when the US destroys Canadian companies and keeps design and engineering to itself. Canadian governments need to check to see if they are being offered coolaid when considering so called free trade. Unless there are overwhelming advantages we should reject the Super hornet and F35 in favour of the Saab Grippen.

After all, It's like comparing a 50 y/o technologie with the latest available. For my future trips, I will consider the companies who have the A220 in their fleet to fly.

Great analysis of a great aircraft program! I see a lot of potential for evolution of this beautiful airplane once the industry is on a sustained growth path again following the COVID crisis.

@@ecoRfan Look at the existing planes on offer: The A350-900 is only 400 miles shorter on range than the Boeing 777-200 LR. The A350-900 ULR absolutely buries any competition, including the yet to be released Boeing 777-8 by 461 miles! The Boeing 777-8 will offer a range of 10,703 miles, while Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900 ULR's can fly 11,164 miles! The A350-1000 ULR, if released, will use the same technology as the 900 ULR while carrying even more fuel and could become the first plane to fly 12,000 miles nonstop in commercial service which is the EXACT goal of Project Sunrise. The A220 is perfect for domestic flights, especially in Australia, small enough for slot constrained, tight airports, while offering medium capacity and flying nearly 4,000 miles covering over 90% of the domestic market. Not to mention it will be much more fuel efficient than the 737 and possibly better than the larger A320 or A321!

Two (completely irrational) reasons why I'd like to see the C-Series / A220 succeed is to rub Boeing's snout in it. a/ What Boeing tried to do to Bombardier was childish stupidity at it's worst regarding the tariffs b/ Boeing killed the MD-95 / B717.

@@KaptnKork Agreed. Most of the commercial aircraft produced have a definitive version and the A220-300, is it. Funny how shrinks never seem to work out as well as stretches - most likely because there is added weight involved on a shrink, that the airframe does not need for the smaller number of passengers, yet it is not modified to keep commonality in production. The A220-500 will not be rolled out until 2 things happen; 1) The A320Neo backlog starts to diminish and customers take delivery of jets & 2) Airbus owns the whole program outright. No sense in sharing the pie with the Quebec gov't

You should be MUCH MORE CLEAR and state fuel efficiency as miles per gallon PER PASSENGER, not just miles per gallon! Obviously the plane cannot fly over 100 miles per gallon, but must divide the fuel consumed per passenger to get the numbers you cite in your video.

The lack of competition with the A220 (formally, CSeries) helped extremely. Notable western former competitors are, Fokker 70, Fokker 100, Maddog (all iterations (for those who don’t know all iterations of the Maddog are: DC-9, MD-80, MD-88, MD-90 & Boeing 717)).

I have flown the A220 with Swiss a couple of times (instead of the usual A320) for the Zurich to Heathrow route. It's a nice aircraft but, on Swiss at least, lacks certain amenities, like infotainment screens. While this is not an issue for short duration flights, it would be for longer routes, where boredom could set in. I agree, with Boeing have it's issues with the 737 Max and the A320's aging (NEO's notwithstanding), the A220's future looks bright. Thanks for the informative video.

The A319neo doesn't sell very much actually (as its trip costs are very close to the A320neo - while carrying less passengers). So a shorter haul A220-500 (trading more seating for less range) would not change much to A319neo sales... In any events, the A220-500 will be launched once Boeing decides to launch its new narrowbody line. This way Airbus can launch a CASM champion A220-500 (cheap to develop) to compete head on with an eventual 737max8 replacement. No need to launch the A220-500 right now, as Airbus already dominates the narrowbody market anyways.
