Airbus hits 500th A220 handover as March deliveries rebound—Q1 still down 16% amid engine constraints
Airbus delivered its 500th A220—after handing over 60 jets in March as A350 and A330 output accelerated and the manufacturer booked 331 orders. However, first-quarter deliveries totaled 114 jets, down 16% year-on-year, with Pratt & Whitney engine constraints still weighing on narrowbody/A220 production.
