This entry details the sales, orders, and deliveries related to the Airbus A220 series, manufactured by Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (ACLP), a joint venture formed by Airbus and Investissement Québec.

Initially launched as the Bombardier CSeries, this five-abreast narrow-body airliner was rebranded as the Airbus A220 following Airbus's acquisition of the program in 2018. The smaller A220-100 (previously CS100) competes directly with the Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 models, whereas the longer A220-300 (formerly CS300) serves as a complement to the Airbus A319neo, targeting competition against Boeing's 737-700 and the upcoming 737 MAX 7 variants.

Bombardier CSeries

On 13 July 2008, just before the Farnborough Airshow, Lufthansa became the initial customer for the CSeries by signing a letter of intent for 60 aircraft with an additional 30 options at a list price of US$46.7 million each. By December 2009, United Airlines had expressed interest in both CS100 and CS300 models as potential fleet replacements but ultimately chose Airbus A319s and Boeing 737-800s. In March 2010, negotiations occurred between easyJet and Bombardier; however, easyJet decided to proceed with Airbus A320 and A320neo aircraft instead. On 21 June 2011, during the Paris Air Show, Korean Air committed to acquiring ten CS300 units with options for additional planes.

2016

On 17 February 2016, Air Canada signed a Letter of Intent for up to 75 CS300 jets as part of its fleet modernization plan—comprising 45 firm orders plus 30 options—with delivery scheduled between late 2019 and 2022. The $3.8 billion contract for 45 firm CS300 orders was finalized on 28 June 2016. Rumors circulated in April that Delta Air Lines had placed an order for the CSeries; this was confirmed on 28 April when Delta announced firm orders for 75 CS100s and options for another 50, with first delivery expected in spring 2018. Industry experts estimated that these aircraft were purchased at a substantial discount from list price—potentially between $24.6 million and $28.7 million per unit—indicating significant disruption potential against Boeing and Airbus incumbents. By early 2016, Bombardier had secured over 127 firm orders with a backlog exceeding 300 aircraft when including options and commitments.

2017

At the November 2017 Dubai Air Show, state-owned Egyptair signed a Letter of Intent for twelve CS300 aircraft plus options. Bombardier also revealed an LOI encompassing 31 firm orders and 30 options from an undisclosed European airline; however, only EgyptAir converted its LOI into a firm order by year-end, valued at approximately $1.1 billion. Total orders reached around 372 by the close of 2017, alongside outstanding commitments and options.

2018

By early in the year, unit prices were approximately US$81 million for the A220-100 and US$91.5 million for the A220-300. In March, Garuda Indonesia indicated interest in replacing its regional jets with CS300s. On 28 May, Latvian national carrier airBaltic placed a firm order for thirty CS300s along with options and purchase rights that could extend up to sixty aircraft.

Airbus A220

2018

Following the establishment of the partnership on 1 July 2018, Airbus took lead responsibility for marketing and after-sales support of the aircraft. Shortly after renaming the CSeries to A220 on 10 July, JetBlue Airways ordered sixty A220-300s intended to replace its fleet of Embraer 190s starting in 2020. This move delivered a notable fuel efficiency improvement of around forty percent per seat—a significant setback for Embraer’s E195-E2 model aimed at JetBlue. The order was valued at $5.4 billion before discounts, with deliveries planned from Mobile, Alabama; some aircraft were convertible to A220-100 variants with sixty options anticipated from 2025 onward. JetBlue highlighted that both A220 variants offered comparable economics, featuring a forty percent lower fuel cost per seat and twenty-two percent reduced operating costs per seat (excluding fuel) relative to its E190 fleet.

Since July 2018, Airbus has actively promoted the A220 across Southeast Asia, focusing on its low operational costs tailored for regional carriers and low-cost airlines. The manufacturer envisions the A220 facilitating point-to-point route expansion on markets characterized by modest demand.

2019

By January 2019, confirmed sales to JetBlue and Moxy Airways (later Breeze Airways) doubled the existing A220 backlog beyond that of the larger A319neo. Delta Air Lines increased its commitment by ordering fifteen additional A220s to reach a total of ninety units by 2023; this included converting fifty orders to the larger A220-300 starting from 2020. Airbus acknowledged that competition between the A220-300 and A319neo was impacting A319 sales but affirmed ongoing production of the latter. In May, Delta’s Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificate valued each A220-100 at an average of $34.1 million per plane with considerable variation.

At the Paris Air Show in June 2019, Air Lease Corporation (ALC) became the first major leasing company to place an order for fifty A220-300s through a letter of intent. In July, Air France–KLM committed to acquiring sixty A220-300s plus options for an additional sixty aircraft to replace their aging A318 and A319 fleets starting September 2021; they also expressed interest in a stretched variant. This increased total backlog to approximately six hundred eleven aircraft—although up to one hundred ten were deferred "ghost" orders predating Airbus’s involvement.

In October, Air Austral finalized an order for three A220-300s as part of fleet renewal efforts. At November’s Dubai Air Show, Air Senegal signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for eight A220-300s—marking their largest purchase so far. By December, Air France–KLM converted their commitment into firm orders totaling sixty A220s.

2020

In January, Nordic Aviation Capital completed an order for twenty A220s following its June 2019 MoU agreement. Air Senegal also finalized its eight-plane acquisition. In October, Southwest Airlines evaluated both the A220 and Boeing’s 737 MAX 7 as replacements for its aging fleet of Boeing 737-700s beginning in 2025 but ultimately confirmed in March 2021 it would proceed exclusively with Boeing jets.

In December, Air France’s CEO indicated that a stretched version of the A220 would be ideal for replacing larger narrow-body aircraft but left open consideration of Boeing’s MAX series should development delays arise.

2021

In March, Airbus announced that an undisclosed customer had ordered twenty additional A220-300s, increasing total orders to six hundred forty-nine units. By September, Breeze Airways expanded its order by twenty more aircraft to reach eighty planes—making it second only to Delta in terms of volume.

During MAKS in July, Russian airline Azimuth Airlines signed a lease agreement with Air Lease Corporation for six A220-300s—the first Russian order following certification by Rosaviatsia. In September, Airbus China initiated certification discussions amid interest from western Chinese carriers; positioned between Comac’s ARJ21 and C919 models in capacity, the A220 offers strategic appeal within China’s aviation market.

At November’s Dubai Air Show—the first major event post-pandemic—ALC placed an order for twenty-five aircraft while Ibom Air ordered ten units. In December, ITA Airways finalized orders including seven A220s alongside other Airbus models. Additionally that month Qantas selected both the A220 and A320neo families as part of its long-term domestic fleet renewal strategy with firm commitments expected by year-end 2022.

2022

After assessing both the A220-300 and A320neo for expansion needs, ultra-low-cost carrier Allegiant Air opted instead for Boeing’s 737 MAX due to concerns over low production rates and uncertain future variants within the A220 family.

In January, Airbus signed a purchase agreement with Azorra Aviation covering twenty-two aircraft including twenty A220-300 units plus two ACJ TwoTwenty business jets.

At February’s Singapore Air Show, Aviation Capital Group (ACG) confirmed an order for twenty additional A220s following earlier commitments involving Airbus narrow-body jets. The following day JetBlue increased its firm orders by thirty more A220-300s—becoming the largest customer with a total commitment of one hundred aircraft—and pushing total family sales close to seven hundred forty.

At July’s Farnborough Air Show, Delta finalized orders for twelve more A220-300s bringing its total to one hundred seven planes—regaining status as largest customer.

In November Croatia Airlines placed firm orders for six A220-300s alongside plans to lease nine additional units.

2023

In January Delta ordered another twelve A220-300 units raising its fleet commitment to one hundred nineteen aircraft.

In February Qantas converted purchase rights into intentions to acquire nine further units slated for delivery during fiscal years ending in ’26–’27; this was confirmed at June’s Paris Air Show.

During June’s Paris Air Show TAAG Angola Airlines leased four more aircraft and ordered three additional A220-300s scheduled for delivery beginning January 2025.

July saw Delta exercise options on twelve extra planes increasing total orders to one hundred thirty-one—enhancing fuel efficiency gains and fleet commonality benefits.

In August Air Niugini selected the larger-capacity and more fuel-efficient A220 over Embraer E195-E2 models for domestic and international routes; it signed firm contracts for six -100 variants plus leases covering three -300s and two more -100s with deliveries commencing early in ’25 as part of fleet modernization.

At November’s Dubai Airshow airBaltic ordered thirty further A220-300s along with options on twenty additional units; then in December Lufthansa Group purchased forty more -300 models operated by City Airlines plus options on another twenty planes.

2024

February saw Breeze Airways reveal an order adding ten more A220-300s raising its total commitment to ninety aircraft—aiming toward an all-A220 fleet by year-end.

In August airBaltic placed an additional order for ten -300 variants increasing its overall commitment also to ninety aircraft—establishing it as Europe’s largest customer.

Notes

In June 2015, Swiss Airlines converted 10 CS100 orders into CS300 units scheduled for delivery in 2017. Another five conversions occurred in June 2016, with the final five completed by the end of that year.
A confirmed order from an unnamed airline was canceled in early 2013 due to the customer’s financial challenges.
Gulf Air, initially undisclosed, was identified in June 2013 as the first customer for the CS100 but postponed deliveries to 2018 during restructuring efforts. Braathens Regional Aviation declined operator status first because of program delays.
Bombardier confirmed at the 2013 Paris Air Show that a startup, initially reported as Odyssey Airlines, had placed an order with expected delivery in 2016.
In October 2013, CDB Leasing was revealed as the lessor behind a conditional order that included 15 options.
Porter Airlines’ binding agreement was contingent on government approval for jet operations at Toronto Island Airport and runway lengthening, which was ultimately denied.
At the 2014 Singapore Airshow, airBaltic added a firm order anonymously at first, later publicly disclosed in July 2014.
An order referenced in Bombardier’s Q1 2014 report was officially announced during the Farnborough Airshow that July.
An undisclosed order was placed by an existing African Bombardier customer.
Ilyushin Finance Co. reportedly holds a total of 39 CS300 aircraft on order.
Following Republic Airways Holdings’ bankruptcy in Q2 2016, Bombardier removed its order from production schedules but kept it on backlog.
Due to Russia’s economic conditions, IFC reduced its CS300 commitment from 32 plus 10 options to 20 aircraft while adding Bombardier Q400s.
At the Paris Airshow in June 2015, airBaltic confirmed it would commence CS300 operations in Q4 2016, receiving its first unit in November and starting service in December.
In March 2017, Braathens Regional Aviation indefinitely deferred all CSeries orders after a proposed Swedish ticket tax affected demand; their order was adjusted exclusively to CS100s.
Bombardier announced that Ilyushin Finance transferred six CS300 orders to GTLK State Transport Leasing Co., which leases to Red Wings Airlines and partners with Nordavia.
In June 2018, reports surfaced that David Neeleman’s startup (originally named Moxy Airways) had placed an order for 60 CS300 aircraft targeting a 2020 launch. At Farnborough 2018, a consortium signed with Airbus for deliveries beginning in 2021, dropping the Moxy brand due to trademark issues.
