Boeing does not make a plane small enough to compete with the A220, really.
The A220 competes with the ERJ-175/190 series. An A319 carries slightly more passengers than the largest A220, and the smallest 737NG carries 30-50 more passengers.
Boeing has never competed in the small regional jet market, and their recent attempt at a partnership with Embraer is their response to the A220.
- mrguyorama 8y agoBoeing produced the 717 until 2006, which would have directly competed with small regional jets
- zymhan 8y agoYes, this is true, but the 717 was acquired from McDonnell Douglas as the MD-95, so it wasn't an organic design. Their ending of production is another indication that they aren't interested in the market.
