Airbus reports A220 integration on track
Integration of the former Bombardier CSeries program into Airbus is progressing well, the head of Airbus in Canada said. “We will deliver more aircraft in the second half of the year than we did in the first half as we continue to ramp up,” said Philippe Balducci, CE of the Airbus-led partnership that now builds the narrowbody airliner as the A220. “Our first focus was to preserve the operations to ensure continuity and make sure customers were not impacted. That has been successful,” he said. The next step was to begin the integration work to bring the A220 program into the Airbus family. All commercial activity, including marketing and sales, is now within Airbus and the transfer of procurement contracts from Bombardier is almost complete, Balducci said. <br/>
