Airbus Canada could hire 500 people to produce more A220s
CTV
Airbus Canada has shelved plans to build two more plants in Mirabel to accommodate new projects, but says it still wants to ramp up production of the A220.
The French multinational is producing five ex-Bombardier C-Series aircraft per month: four in Mirabel and one in Mobile, Alabama.
The total number should increase to six per month by 2022 and 14 per month by 2025, with 10 aircraft assembled in Quebec and four in the United States.
This plan will require some hiring, confirmed Benoît Schultz, president and CEO of Airbus Canada.
While he would not give specific targets, Schultz said the Mirabel workforce of 2,500 will eventually reach the 3,000 mark.
