Airbus acquires majority stake in Bombardier CSeries program. The majority of CSeries aircraft will still be produced in Quebec, with an additional final assembly line being added in Mobile, Alabama.

Brilliant move in my opinion! Bombardier still gets to fulfill their obligations to their customer, Delta Airlines, who ordered a large amount of CSeries aircraft & is crucial to the program's success. This is a great way for them to retaliate against the US Government's overly protectionist sanctions, which I feel do not have a place in the global aviation industry. I wish them well in their endeavour.

YES!!! Finally Bombardier has the chance to stick a big middle finger in Boeing's face. Time for Boeing to admit they have an inferior product and actually catch up
I think this is actually a huge blow to Boeing lol that 300% tariff is literally useless with the planes going to be manufactured somewhere in the U.S.A (forgot the place) they need to start playing fair.
Guys - so much hate for Boeing!! They make a better product than the CS by far IMO. The 737-700 seats a few more pax, but also has much more range, and it's probs cheaper with end-of-production discounts. The MAX 7 is also longer range than the CS, so it's also a good competition, and since sales are slow for it, it might have steep discounts as well.

I don't hate Boeing to make it clear they really need to stop playing unfair. Like you said aircraft manufacturers tend to bring steep discounts so steep that it will be lower than the production cost that's a strategy to popularize the model so more airlines will buy it.
A220 ftw
Sorry Zortan, but the MAX 7 can't compete with the CSeries. Plus the whole tariff thing was for the CS100, WHICH IS IN A DIFFERENT ****ING CATEGORY OF PLANES SO BOEING ARE A BUNCH OF ****S. But apart from that I love Boeing.

I hate the management but I love the company so I second this

I didn't even mention Boeing in my post. What the US Government did was a dick move. This is a great way to get around it on Bombardier's part. I can't compare the MAX 7 to the CS300 at this point. Perhaps after a couple of years of production/operation, that can happen, but this is about a company going the extra mile to try & fulfill a contract it had signed with a major customer.

They will do anything to keep their pride up.

IK that, but what about the Embraer E2 - I personally think those are better.

Boeing didn't have a say in the tariffs - the government did it because Trump.

Please don't hate on Boeing. As i said, it was Trump and trump only who made the taxes like that.

Yep she's beautiful hope she sells good like her predecessors
Timeless
Do you really think the A330NEO will do well? I mean, they should just retrofit current A330s with engines because I'm in serious doubt that they'll sell too many.

As of today the Airbus A330 NEO has 212 orders.. So I think she will.
A220 ftw
Well, as much as I love the 330neo, unless they get some orders it is screwed. The 338 is on life support, and the only operator with 6 a/c is considering changing them to the 787 (tbh the 787 is the perfect long haul plane for HA) and AirAsia X might change their 339 order to the 359, in which case the A330neo will just die.
On the other hand, SQ firmed up its 39 aircraft order (20x 777-9 and 19x 787-10), so that's getting some love. Plus, Boeing might restart 767 pax production, so as much as they're a bunch of dicks for BBD they are providing a short-term solution for their second biggest mistake, shutting down the 767 pax line and not MAXing it up (the first one was not MAXing up the 757)
Oh goodness, this topic has been dead for ... almost 2 years. Better revive it then.
And...

Well, that's even truer now than before. One of them is operating well with multiple airlines around the world, albeit under a different name. The other is grounded.
