Airbus begins building new A220 assembly facilities in Mirabel
Airbus confirms it has kicked off construction of two new buildings in Mirabel that will enable the company to boost production of A220s. The move precedes the Airbus's plan to open an A220 assembly site in the USA, and comes as it begins fulfilling major orders from several large North American airlines. "To support our ramp up, we need extra space in Mirabel, so we’ve started construction work for 2 new dome structures which will be ready around spring 2019," Airbus said. Airbus, and Bombardier before it, have sought to boost production of the aircraft previously known as the CSeries. Prior to Airbus' acquisition of the A220 in July, Bombardier executives talked of hiking production to between 90 and 120 aircraft annually by 2020. <br/>
