Airbus SE renamed the C Series jet acquired from Bombardier Inc. the A220 and set a target of at least 100 orders for the aircraft this year.

The European planemaker aims to book a “triple-digit” level of sales before the end of 2018, David Dufrenois, the program’s sales chief, said in Toulouse, where the first A220 in Airbus livery was paraded before the media.
