Two comments about the information above. - The projected A220 investment figures fully explain why Bombardier's stake had to be bought off by Airbus - the financial effort was too much for them to share. - In the video posted by Addasih, Faury characterises a new longer A220 variant as a 'likely' development in the future.

He looks tired and possibly might benefit from a media training spruce-up.

the comment at the end is interesting. I expected the spare engines to fare better not worse.

A lot of changes in -300 the firing order, most notable: For now no more Czech Airlines, a few more for Azimuth and the first for Iraqi Airways.

Not sure if anybody noticed but it seems like the A220 Test Flights have a new callsign. They now start with "ABK" instead of "BBA5". ABK is now followed by either a "1" (A220-100) or "3" (A330-300) and then followed by the last two digits of the MSN number.
MSN 55082 has already done 3 Test Flights in total this week as ABK382.
Edit: I just listened to the liveatc.net recording of yesterdays flight and its pronounced "Airbus Canada 382". I suppose that would pretty much confirm the new callsign.

Some explanation for the callsign "ABK" by www.lesailesduquebec.com and google translator: ABK, is it for AirBus Kanada?

hi Mike! HL7615The last A220-100 delivered to Delta was 50050 on 6 March. Since, 50051 52 and 53 were rolled out and did some flight tests. 50054 just did its FF. Deliveries at Delta then indeed will start again within a few days. Good news, as Delta is supposed to take a few this year. As of today, Delta took delivery of 31 A220-100s, and there are now 14 left to deliver. Air Vanuatu was supposed to take delivery of one (out of 2) this year too, but since what is happening, deliveries should be deferred by a few years. airBaltic will take delivery of only one -300 this year, but a few more in 2021. Air Canada keeps taking delivery as planned, and Air France should have its first -300s at the end of 2021. It looks then like Mirabel doesn't need to reduce the flow out, while the current deliveries is in fact below the rentability line. So Airbus' priority is to avoid any cancellations. Then will need to find new customers, that actually won't be an easy task in the next few years.
