So, Airbus?
- tazjin 3y agoWell, an American company isn't going to start buying Sukhoi planes ;)
- akprasad 3y agoAlso Embraer [1]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer
- switch007 3y agoHow so? They are mostly focussed on smaller capacity aircraft. They practically seem niche compared to Airbus and Boeing. Though personally I would love a world full of E190s in a nice comfy configuration.
- lsllc 3y agoEmbraer and Bombardier for smaller aircraft.
- Almondsetat 3y agoCan they ramp up production?
- asylteltine 3y agoThey already supply a ton of smaller aircraft and short haul routes for regional carriers. They would not replace Boeing though

- DrBenCarson 3y agoBombardier sold all non-bizjet businesses over the last few years. This included the CSeries which became the Airbus A220, the primary competition for the 737 MAX-7

Now the C-Series are the Airbus A220, competition successfully averted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSeries_dumping_petition_by_Boeing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSeries_dumping_petition_by_Bo...
