If my counting is correct than this is the #199 delivered of the A220`s series. Somebody can confirm ?

I tried to add the monthly/yearly/totals to the deliveries last year and apparently AIB Family Flights #s didn't agree with someone else on here. According to their statistics, this is the breakdown of deliveries to date (170 total...CS300/A221/A223):

2017...2 total
CS 300...2

2018...26 total
A221...4

I just checked the O&D spreadsheet from Airbus wich tells me at the end of 2021 there were 50 A220-100`s and 143 A220-300`s delivered so a total of 193.
AIB Family Flights statistic starts in 2017. The first ever delivered aircaft was in July 2016 to Swiss if I remember correct. It looks like to me that only from 2020 on they have the right numbers. At the end of the day my YTD number of 199 delivered frames seems correct. Who gets the 200th frame ?

Yes I forgot about the 5 Swiss CS 100s and 2 Air Baltic CS 300s which were delivered in 2016, which still only gives a total of 177. So I'm still missing 16 deliveries! Help!

Let`s start in 2017 which says only 2 CS300 delivered. Thats absolutely wrong. Swiss took delivery in that year of 3 -100`s and 7 -300`s as well as Air Baltic for 4 -300`s. Now we have found already 12 frames. I keep on searching for the other 4 missed.
Edit : 2018 6 CS300 is wrong too. Swiss took delivery of 8 CS300 plus 4 A220-300`s in this year

The guy that runs the AIB Family Flights site seems to pay attention to the feedback that people are saying. On the site's discord he pointed out that some Contractual Deliveries were missing for the CSeries aircraft and supposedly added them.

Indeed. The most easy way was to read and check post #277 from "mfranjic" of last years topic which shows even the delivery date. ( Thanks Mario )
So todays MSN 50064 A220-100 N144DU for Delta marks the 200th delivery. Someone proofs me wrong ?

With 50064 now delivered to Delta, that leaves 50065 as the one remaining A220-100 Delta had on order. Remaining Delta orders are for the 300.

Thank you for the movement details. There isn't much to comment on other that is seems like an end of the quarter delivery surge looks plausible.

In any case a delivery surge is needed when I take a look at the delivery schedules from airlines. There are still 49+ deliveries outstanding for this year.

Based on the Airbus site 9 have been delivered so far in 2022 as of today;

DL (x 3)-100
Comlux (x 1)-100
Breeze (x 1)-300
AF (x 1)-300
Air Baltic (x 1)-300
Iraq (x 2)-300

So maybe 4 more before quarter end would be 13?

Looks like Airbus is having a hard time ramping up production rates for the A220. How many are expected to be delivered this year? At this rate it’s going to take more than 10 years to deliver the current backlog.

According to both AIB Family Flights and planespotters.net, the two Iraqi Airways A223s, YI-ARE and YI-ARF were "delivered on contract" on 8 November 2021 and 30 December 2021 respectively. So why are they being counted in 2022 totals when they were both already counted in 2021 totals? I'm going to stick with my total of 7 YTD.

Correct, both Iraqi planes were delivered in 2021 and can been seen in Airbus’s 2021 delivery spreadsheets.

I'm wondering the same. When Breeze received their first in October, they also announced they were expecting one per month through April 2022. They only now have 2 and you could argue a 3rd is ready in Mobile but still the prodcution has not met what they originally projected.

It has been awhile since AC has taken delivery of any A223's. Would MSN 55161 be part of the order that was deferred and now proceeding? If that is the case, how many units were in that original deferral? I believe AC currently has 27 and the deferral was for an additional 6. The original firm order was for 45, which I believe the final 10 are slated for delivery around 2025/2026 if correct? When the original order was placed many years ago, I believe there were also 30 options, don't know if they still exist? If post 2025 Airbus has officially launched a A225 variant, I would imagine AC would look at that variant for those remaining options.

It has been awhile since AC has taken delivery of any A223's. Would MSN 55161 be part of the order that was deferred and now proceeding? If that is the case, how many units were in that original deferral? I believe AC currently has 27 and the deferral was for an additional 6. The original firm order was for 45, which I believe the final 10 are slated for delivery around 2025/2026 if correct? When the original order was placed many years ago, I believe there were also 30 options, don't know if they still exist? If post 2025 Airbus has officially launched a A225 variant, I would imagine AC would look at that variant for those remaining options.


No, MSN 55161 is not part of this.
Air Canada had previously determined it would no longer be purchasing under an amendment to the purchase
agreement concluded with Airbus in November 2020.

Firm order was for 45 and by 12 reduced in 2020. These 12 will now be delivered in 2024 and 2025 6 each year. This also means 6 deliveries this year and not one in 2023. The 30 puchase options seems to be still valid.

Looks like Airbus is having a hard time ramping up production rates for the A220. How many are expected to be delivered this year? At this rate it’s going to take more than 10 years to deliver the current backlog.

I'm wondering the same. When Breeze received their first in October, they also announced they were expecting one per month through April 2022. They only now have 2 and you could argue a 3rd is ready in Mobile but still the prodcution has not met what they originally projected.

Well, with raw material and part shortages left and right, is anyone surprised that Airbus is having issues ramping up A220 production?

I have always wondered, how does aircraft manufacturers cope with raw materials prices fluctuations? I mean, most of the A220 firm orders are from 2015-2019, and since then most materials used to manufacture an aircraft (aluminum, steel, electronics, nickel, titanium) have more than doubled in price, most of them are with prices on a 50 year high, if not a all time high. When a airline firms an order with a aircraft manufacturer, is the price fixed? Or is it variable depending on current costs?

Aircraft are great example of high value-added. A buyer isn't so much paying for the cost of raw materials, but for design, fabrication, and assembly. If the empty weight of an A220-100 were nothing but titanium it would have about $2 million worth of ingot. Aluminum, steel, and nickel are a lot cheaper.

This sort of long term contract normally have inflation factors for raw materials based on agreed indexes. Not normally 100% of the inflation factor but an agreed percentage.
