Airbus’s latest backlog figures show the total number of delivered A220s has exceeded 500, a decade after the type entered service as the Bombardier CSeries.
Bombardier delivered 37 of the CSeries aircraft — comprising 29 CS300s and eight CS100s — before Airbus acquired the programme in mid-2018 and respectively rebranded the models as the A220-300 and -100.
Airbus has since delivered another 464 of the twinjets, taking total handovers to 501 at the end of March this year.
It states that the aircraft has carried passengers across nearly 2,000 routes.
Total orders are approaching four figures, with 959 listed in the airframer’s backlog data, of which 851 are for the larger variant.
Bombardier had secured 402 orders for the CSeries before Airbus’s absorption of the programme.
