11 November 2019: Air Canada's first Airbus A220 has rolled out of the painting hangar at the A220 final assembly line in Mirabel.
Air Canada will be the first Canadian airline to take delivery of this Canadian-designed and developed aircraft when it receives the first of its 45 A220s on order in December. The A220 has an innovative cabin design, as well as significantly lower emissions and a reduced noise footprint.
As the aircraft is now decked out in Air Canada's livery, it has moved to pre-flight activities in the A220 flight line hangar in Mirabel, before taking off for its first flight later this fall.
