Air Asia order for A220s. Ramping up production? Or just stacking the orders?

Are y’all building the whole plane over there?

Meh.

19 billion dollars.

We spent that in a month on USAID and Ukraine.

Mobile is assembly of parts. But it is basically the making of the plane.

A $19B order is a big fn deal. Don’t recall any doors flying of Airbus mid-flight.

A220 is a nice aircraft but a very odd investment by AB, considering it’s competitive with its own a320 family. 220 been plagued with PW engine issues & since it was originally a Bombardier, it doesn’t share the same cockpit / fleet commonality with other AB’s.
