Overview

The story of the Airbus A220 is one of the most improbable and inspiring in modern aviation. Born as Bombardier's bold CSeries project, it was envisioned to challenge the global duopoly of Boeing and Airbus with a revolutionary, fuel-efficient narrowbody aircraft. What followed was a rollercoaster of ambition, financial peril, political battles, and engineering triumphs. From its uncertain beginnings in Montreal and its first hesitant orders, through the trade wars that nearly buried it, to Airbus' dramatic intervention and the aircraft's rebirth as the A220, this is a saga of survival and transformation. With unparalleled detail, A220: From CSeries Gamble to Airbus Game-Changer traces how a struggling Canadian program became one of Airbus' most important strategic assets. It examines the aircraft's innovative technology, its impact on airlines worldwide, and the global workforce that builds and flies it. More than just the tale of an airplane, this book is a narrative of risk, resilience, and reinvention-a case study in how daring industrial vision can overcome almost insurmountable odds.
