MONTREAL – Airbus is renaming the C Series aircraft developed by ********** as the A220.

The name change comes after Airbus officially took a majority stake in the C Series program earlier this month.

What was the CS100 will be known as the A220-100, while the larger CS300 will be the A220-300.

The change was announced at Airbus’ headquarters in Toulouse, France.

Under the deal between Airbus and **********, the aircraft partnership’s head office and main assembly line will be located in Mirabel, Que.

Airbus also expects to start producing the aircraft for the U.S. market at a new plant in Mobile, Ala., in 2019 with deliveries coming a year later.
