The narrow-body aircraft, whose maiden voyage takes off for Calgary from Montreal on Thursday, grants Canada’s largest airline greater range and cost savings as the company tries to shore up profit margins amid the ongoing grounding of the Boeing 737 Max. The plane was called the C Series before Bombardier Inc. gave up a controlling stake in the aircraft program in 2018 to Europe-based Airbus, which christened it the A220. The airliners will be built at what are now Airbus Canada’s facilities north of Montreal in Mirabel, Que. Airbus also produces the planes at a new site in Mobile, Ala., mainly for U.S. customers.
