A Happy Customer: Air Canada To Expand Its Airbus A220 Fleet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- By exercising some of its options with Airbus, Air Canada has ordered an additional 15 A220-300 aircraft. These additional jets will bring the airline's total number of A220s ordered to 60. The carrier currently operates 30 of the narrowbody jet along routes across North America and has thoroughly incorporated the aircraft into its short and medium-haul operations. Let’s look at this latest development in today’s video.

Forever Canada’s CSeries
Indeed
I’m a Canadian as well but bombardier is just a mess for so long. This jet was a real game changer and it only succeeded because of the current governments intervention.
@@DrPriiime Agreed, the Quebec Provincial government's investment arm owns 25% of the program because of previous Bombardier bailouts
Canadian pride, was disappointed when the C series was sold to Airbus, but am happy the tech is one spot for today's market. Some 90% of Canada's population lives in a straight line along the southern border of the Country. This aircraft so fits the loads and geography for Air Canada.
This seems like a good idea, especially to replace their aging A320s.
I flew on the A220. Loved it.
Recently flew on the AC A220 for the 1st time and loved the big windows and wide economy seats. Best narrow body jet on the market, and Canadian made! 🇨🇦
Ive flown on it many times btw Calgary and Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal..great plane. Very comfortable and quiet.
Excellent to see. The Canadian designed jet is fabulous. It's nice to see Air Canada has ordered so many of these jets.
I flew one time on the A220. Its my fav. plane
@@well-blazeredman6187 big windows, wide seats, quiet engines
@@well-blazeredman6187 Is just beauteful. The quietness the Cabin. And it has MASSIV windows. Its just beauteful.
Gosh I love that airBaltic livery... 🤩😍✈
As one who sees primarily the standard American livery, I’ve grown partial to that bright and sleek Air Canada color scheme on any body.
Great aircraft, love flying on it.
I've heard from pilots saying that nothing flies like our pride c-series a220 it's like as good as a fighter jet
I look forward to flying in one. My typical route is not served yet.
Flew YYZ to SJU and it was a great flight both ways.
Can't wait to fly an A220 this December!
beautiful aircraft!
I have flown on Air Canada A220 several times and I love it. Please please please bring back St Johns YYT to LHR London Heathrow with the A220.
Smart decision! Best suitable airplane for short and middle haul routes where the high volume capacity not the first priority.
As a Canadian and as much as I despise flying on Air Canada, I’m happy to see AC supporting the Canadian aviation industry.
What a gorgeous plane the A220 is 🥰😍😍😍😍😍
Beautiful jet
Air Canada did not originally want the C-Series. It was forced to buy it as part of a settlement for having closed its maintenance base in Manitoba). When AC was privatized, ita charter required head office in Montréal and maitenanec facility in MB (and probably other covenants). After Air Canada went through CCAA (bankruptcy protection circa 2004) it spun off its maintenance to AVEO, and had recently broken the contract to have planes maintained overseas in low wage countries, and AVEO went belly up, leaving MB without the required maintenance base.
The federal government who didn.t want to inject money to bail out Bombardier that was headed for bankruptcy found innovating way to help BBD and solve AC's problen in court: If AC bounght C-Series , Bombardier agreed to get the MB maintenance facility and provide maintenance services for the C-Sreies fleet thereby fulfulling that requirement in AC's charter.
At the time, Air Canada announced the C-Series would replace the Embraear fleet with the order for 45.
At covid, order reduced to 33, then end 2021, increased to 35, then early 2022, brought back to 45, and now 60.
This order is the first "true" order out of Air Canada's own will, so a testament of how well the aircraft is doing.
What is missing from the recent announcement: what role the additional 15 will play. Since they are all -300 and not -100, they won't be replacing CRJs which are now orphan/abandonned aircraft. (as are the Dash-8s that are also out of production for now).
I love that they say Los Angeles like Bugs Bunny... "Los an' gel eze"
what happened to your voice? Noticed that it is much deeper in the latetst videos than before
@Will Brokenbourgh Ah. Thanks man
When ever I fly It's my aircraft of choise and puts Air Canada's other new narrow body the B737 Max to shame in every category . Wder seats , bigger windows and quiter interior. The Max is a dinosaur compared to this with its 60 year old heritage.
It's a very PAX friendly aircraft ! It was one of Boeing's great blunders to lose the C series to Airbus. And now it's time to modernize the livery
I think it was Boeing's idea to catch and kill the CSeries. Buy the program and run it into the ground to kill the only option to the B737. Thank God Airbus made the deal.
Wonderful news. I can't wait to fly on one. Hopefully they will transfer all those crappy 737 Maxs to Rouge and replace them with A320neo series- already partly happening- and A220-500s
It's a pretty little thing.
air Canada sure has a spicey order book with the a220 a321xlr 777(freighter) and 787 plus the 2 used a330s they are acquiring and the 6 767s they are converting. not even mentioning the 737 max options they have which the way they are doing business I could see me converting to firm orders. 2023 is gonna be a big year for new aircraft at air canada
Airlines that operate the A220 will have both low operating costs and flight capabilities that their competitors can only dream of: a comfortable low-maintenance plane that can catapult itself from short runways with a heavy payload and enough fuel to cross the continent. They will no doubt be coming back to buy more.
Voice is different
Different microphone
I think this just goes to show what a fantastic job Bombardier did with the type. Shame Boeing thought they could get out of a pickle with a trade war. But, even more a shame that now there will never be the CS500.
Airbus won’t try to harm A320 sales and the a220-500 would crush it. Shame.
Actually one month ago Airbus CEO declared that they will develop A220-500, but not right now.
The multicultural nature of Europe and Airbus is a perfect fit for Canada and Bombardier.
Airbus got a program free of development costs and Canada got the money and muscle
to get the CSeries into full production. A perfect fit. Thank you Airbus! You can't trust Boeing.
Airbus got a sweet deal with this plane - thanks for a former US President.
We may as well buy the aircraft...Canadian taxpayers paid to design and built it, then it was sold out from under us.
just me or does the voice sound different on this video ?
It's the same narrator; he's just traveling and thus using a different microphone than usual until he returns to his regular setup.
@@Gameflyer001 ah ok I knew it was the same narrator I thought maybe he was trying something new
We stick it to Boeing every time we sell one
Boeing 100% regrets suing Bombardier and Airbus buying the program
@@heidirabenau511 especially since their own attempted deal to buy Embraer fell through.
