RE:A220 program update
Hey soundandfury what I see here is no sound bite. What I see are news facts from Pratt & Whitney, and it is about time,.... for Bombardier and Airbus to shift into a higher production rate. Which I think we can all agree on, is a good thing.
Several media reported that Air Baltic had made many engine changes in a year; With the priority being to keep aircraft already delivered in service, a significant portion of Pratt & Whitney’s production capacity was used to upgrade aircraft engines in service. All A220s from Air Baltic, Korean Air and SWISS would now have upgraded engines and Pratt & Whitney will be able to focus on delivering to the assembly line. If no new problems are discovered on PWG engines, the production rate should increase a lot in 2019.
