The newest addition to the Airbus family of commercial aircraft, the A220, has received 180-minute extended operations (ETOPS*) approval from the Canadian civil aviation authority, Transport Canada. This achievement paves the way for A220 customers to start new direct non-limiting routings over water, remote or underserved regions. "This A220 ETOPS milestone adds to the numerous performance capabilities which the unbeatable A220 Family already offers," said Florent Massou, Head of Airbus’ A220 Programme.

These are planes that make up very big competition. Especially C919. Many people know that Chinese companies can attract huge investments in their projects and influence the market, for example cars. Airbus is trying to maintain its position.
