Well, what doesn't make any sense to me is why COMAC let Bombardier sell Airbus the A220. That jet has lots of sales, and half ownership with production rights

Well, what doesn't make any sense to me is why COMAC let Bombardier sell Airbus the A220.
That jet has lots of sales, and half ownership with production rights would be fantastic for COMAC.

- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoAs far as I know, they had no other choice. Boeing was rumored to be working with them for a while on an acquisition, but then abandoned them and left them in a very vulnerable position. Smaller companies without lots of working capital cannot absorb a big strategic change like that. They had probably already had discussions with Airbus that made closing it out much quicker than any alternative.
