A220, l'avion du futur aujourd'hui:

Contexte :

déclin des hubs

prix du fuel (always up)

flying more frequently on smaller planes to offer more flexibility

shoe-string profits --> efficient aircrafts

passengers want to fly direct from smaller airports (no hubs)

+ trip impact on the environment

a220 to tackle future needs

clean sheet aircraft - strategic or product of good design ?
short to medium haul flights

c-series is not a regional jet

c-series built for canada - from small regional airports with short runways - serve
remote communities
25% more efficient than some of the old designs
even more efficiient than the 737 max or a320neo family

large quad jets were the very first casualty of the COVID pandemic

what's next : neo version or stretched version

Histoire du programme Cseries:

a220 has a special place in the airbus family - it was adopted (acquisition of the
bombardier c-series program)
boeing thought it was a threat --> trade dispute

bombardier lands a major deal with delta airlines for 75 cs100 in 2016
(20 mio $ sell price - 30-35 mio $ prix de abrication - 60-72 mio $ prix de vente
normal)
boeing filed a complaint with the US international trade commision -- dumping cost
2017 : subsidised sales at the detriment of the 737 program (737 max)

cseries program received much scrutiny from Boeing, leading to the filing for an
anti-competitive injunction over the subsidies to the planemaker by the Quebec
government
Bombardier sells 50.01% to Airbus on october 16th 2017, the injunction had been
overturned
Bombardier partnered with airbus because Airbus has a final assembly line in mobile
Alabama --> american planes --> aren't subject to US import tariffs

5 months later : US Department of Commerce --> 219,63% tariff / 300% duties on

every Bombardier cseries airline brought into the country (3x the cost of each
aircraft)
Delta issued a statement saying that there was no risk to boeing's market as it
wasn't producing an aircraft in a similar size category (717 ceased production more
than 10years ago)
Bombardier handed control of the program over to airbus in 2018 for a token 1$, in
order to preserve its viability
sell its remaining stake in the program to airbus for $600 million in 2020

50.01% controlling stake for 1$ in 2018 , production in Alabama

2020 Airbus buys the remaining stake of bombardier in the program

in february 2018, the US International Trade Commision reversed its previous

decision agreeing that there was no threat to the US aviation industry from the
Cseries
airbus received the controlling stake 3 months before this decision

a220 program continues to lose money due to high supply and production costs
airbus will fix by finding efficiencies in the product ramp-up

Comparaison entre Cseries et Boeing 737 max 7

a220-300 and boeing 737 max 7
similar cabins 2-3 vs 3-3
160 vs 172 passengers

weight and range :

MTOW 70'900 vs 80'290 kgs
range 3400 nm (6297km) vs 3850 nm (7130km)
21508 liters vs 25816 liters

cargo capacity :
28 cubic meters vs 32.3 cubic meters

Boeing se ronge les ongles :

deal between bombardier and delta - 75 + 50 option

boeing filed a complaint with the U.S. National Trade Comission accusing Bombardier
of price dumping (selling the aircraft at a loss) + Canadian authorities had
subsidized the program illegally

Boeing got close to getting the c series into their own aircraft lineup and in fact
in some ways it woulld have been easier for Boeing to integrate the a220 program in
their lineup

Avantages :
Fuel efficient :
120 miles per gallon - 737max-8 103.2 mpg - a321neo 107.4 mpg

20% better fuel burn than similarly sized aircraft

a220-100 9.1 lb / mile on short 500 nm mile 10.1 lb on long

300 10.11 short 11.01 long
a320neo 9.9lb/mile 660 nm fligth

Profitability and environmental consciousness

huge range (point-to-pèoint routes)

a220-300 range (3,350 nm)
a220-100 range (3,400 nm)
trip across the atlantic possible
land on shorter runways or difficult airports (London City - Swiss)

high efficiency - usage of multiple departures rather than one larger aircraft
more regular services on smaller planes --> business aviation

performance impressive : extensive range, highly fuel efficient operations and

passenger satisfaction

Désavantages:
october 2019 : swiss grounded all a220 - engine shutdowns

large quad jets were the very first casualty of the COVID pandemic

1. aircraft young and efficient

2. a220 has a lower capacity 100- 150 seat market - perfect to suceed in a post
pandemic
lees stress if the plane isn't full

problems :
engine shutdowns - engine failures during flight maybe due to engine software -->
in 2020 update software FAA

supply chain issued with the engine

Pratt & Whitney PW1000

lifetime limited parts in the engines, need to be removed from the airplane to
change the part (90 days --> 8 months)
back to normal supply chain back in 2024

problem from cockpit design - accidently engage autopilot when wanting to engage
the autothrottle late during takeoff
38 ocurrence - 2 almost fatal

Embraer 195-e2:

e195-e2
e2 programm in june 2013 at the paris air show - uptdate to the ejet and eseries
october 2019 first entry of e2

boeing tried to make a deal with the embraer to counter bombardier - airbus

2-3 vs 2-2

powerplant : pratt & whitney purepower pw1500g

bombardier approached boeing before the delta order for a possible collaboration --
> Boeing declined

after the complaint : high level discussions between Bombardier Boeing and the
Canadian government about a potential partnership --> boeing would get an ownership
stake in the C-series
Boeing broke of the negociations and continued with the trade complaint

trade complaints were overturned + drove Bombardier and C-series towards Airbus
