  • It’s a nice plane, but it’s likely at a dead end. It was designed to be stretched and reach into the territory of the A320 and Boeing 737. Airbus doesn’t really have an incentive to stretch it for a couple reasons. It would cut into their A320 sales which is selling like crazy right now. It also has a different cockpit layout to other Airbus aircraft so it’s harder to cross train pilots from an A220 to other Airbus aircraft. Bombardier built a good plane, but the US Congress screwed them to protect Boeing.
