European aircraft manufacturer Airbus said it would continuously increase the production rate of the A220 aircraft, a model to which Chinese manufacturers contribute the biggest chunk of work compared with other Airbus plane models.
The A220, a small single-aisle aircraft for the 100- to 150-seat short-haul market segment, is a complement to the A320 family of aircraft. It is also the only Airbus model to have seen a stable production rate since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Stated differently, other Airbus models production rates declined in the aftermath of the pandemic.
