Si.
Credo abbiano fatto un gran bell'affare quelli di Delta (e quelli di Airbus Industries).

Delta Air Lines on Friday accepted the first delivery by Airbus of an A220 to a new operator since the European airframer assumed control of the narrowbody program previously known as the C Series from Bombardier in June. The delivery ceremony, held at Bombardier’s factory in Mirabel, Quebec, also marked the first delivery of the model to a U.S. carrier.
Delta plans to place into service its first 109-seat A220 early next year, when it becomes the fourth airline to operate the aircraft. Delta placed an order for 75 C Series jets with Bombardier in 2016 and ranks as the largest customer for the A220-100, the smaller of a narrowbody duo that includes the A220-300.
Delta’s A220 marks its latest investment in a fleet modernization program aimed at replacing 20 percent of its aging aircraft by 2020.
Delta plans to base its first A220 at New York La Guardia Airport and launch service on January 31 to Boston and Dallas. Next, in March, it expects to fly an A220 from Detroit to Dallas. Schedules also call for flights from La Guardia to Houston starting in April, from Salt Lake City to Dallas in May, from Minneapolis to Dallas in June, from Houston to Detroit, Minneapolis and Salt Lake City in July and from New York-JFK to Dallas in August.
The airplanes’ 109-seat interior includes 12 seats in first class and 15 in Delta’s Comfort Plus premium economy section.

per alcuni giorni ho seguito i voli del primo esemplare, di solito tra Atlanta,Mobile e Jackson
poi da una settimana è sparito da flightradar24
avete qualche notizia in merito? tagliando dei 1500 km?

Airbus plans significant cost cuts for A220 regional jet programme
European manufacturer eyes supply chain savings even as it seeks to raise production
Airbus plans to cut costs “significantly” on the A220 programme which the European manufacturer took control of last year even as it tries to increase production of the regional jet.
“We need to reduce the unit cost by more than double digits [percentage],” said Philippe Balducchi, chief executive of the A220 partnership, at its base in Mirabel, Canada.
The majority of the cost reduction is expected to come from the supply chain. The company, Mr Balducchi added, was in talks with its suppliers to enhance efficiencies and reduce costs on the lossmaking programme.
Airbus agreed in 2017 to take a 50.1 per cent controlling stake in what was then Bombardier’s C Series, the newest in the industry and highly regarded for its fuel efficiency, but which had struggled to secure orders.
It followed a threat by the US Department of Commerce to slap 300 per cent tariffs on the regional airline. Boeing, Airbus’s rival, had complained that the C Series, assembled in Canada with wings made in Northern Ireland, had been funded with illegal UK and Canadian subsidies and dumped below cost into the US. Boeing had launched its challenge after the jet won a multibillion-dollar order from US carrier Delta Air Lines for an initial 75 jets.
The US International Trade Commission in January 2018, however, rejected the tariff proposals, and said it had found no evidence of damage to Boeing.
Since Airbus took full control of the re-named A220 in July last year the aim, said Mr Balducchi, had been to “bring the efficiency of the Airbus machine behind the programme”.
The A220 partnership, which also includes Bombardier and Investissement Québec, delivered 33 A220 jets in 2018, of which 20 were handed over to airline customers in the second half. Seventeen aircraft were delivered in 2017. Since the programme’s launch in 2016, 57 jets have been delivered to five different operators.
Airbus said it planned to ramp-up the production rate of the aircraft but declined to give a precise target. The company is applying some of the lessons it has learnt from the rate increase of its successful A350 jet.
Florent Massou, Head of the A220 programme, said the final assembly line at Mirabel was capable of producing ten aircraft a month. A second line in Mobile, Alabama, will be capable of producing four aircraft a month. He promised that “the ramp up is not over”.
Analysts at Agency Partners predicted at the time of the Airbus deal in October 2017 that the A220 programme would reach breakeven or make a small profit in 2021.
Airbus said it also plans to invest around US$30m over the next twelve months at the facility in Canada, which will include a new delivery centre.
The European group separately announced it had won an initial contract from the US government to develop a small constellation “satellite bus” for a programme to build a network of prototype satellites in low-earth orbit. The “satellite bus” will drive each satellite by among other things, generating power, controlling altitude and providing propulsion.

CVD. Praticamente un sostituto del 320 nei (tanti) casi in cui non servono 5.000 NM di autonomia. Con la conseguente riduzione di pesi e costi.
Airbus open to developing larger version of A220
"It's very likely that… once the A220 has done the ramp up, is economically viable [and] then we can further invest, that this is going to happen," Airbus president of commercial aircraft Guillaume Faury tells reporters on 16 January. "Once this success is on track, it would be time for looking at what we do for the product.
"We are not there yet," he adds. "We see the very strong potential." Industry observers have suggested such an aircraft would be called the A220-500.
Faury made his comments in Mobile as Airbus prepared to host an event marking the start of construction of Airbus's A220 Mobile assembly site.
Speculation had long swirled that the A220's previous owner Bombardier might develop a larger version of the aircraft then called the CSeries. The line-up includes the A220-100, which can carry up to 135 seats, and the A220-300, which can accommodate up to 160 passengers. Bombardier always denied those suggestions.

Era scontato; l'acquisto di Bombardier e' stata una bella mossa da parte di Airbus. Hanno una piattaforma su cui crescere per un futuro rimpiazzo del 320 senza spendere poi troppo.

Quindi i 4 aerei che stanno usando adesso sono senza certificazione?Ammesso riescano a certificarlo negli US prima o poi
