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.

Construction has started on an A220 production facility in Alabama. The official ceremony took place on January 16th in Mobile, Alabama. The A220 is the former Canadian built Bombardier CSeries CS100 and CS300. now called the A220-100 and A220-300 after Airbus took over the program from Bombardier last year.

Not to forget Embraer and their re-engined Regional jets such as the E190-E2 and E195-E2. Of course Boeing now have put their hands in that Brazilian venture.

Would not surprise me if Mr. Rybololev is stepping up.
