These aren't significant outside of the US market. And okay, the US market is a significant market for aircraft, but by way of comparison most of the major orders of the larger E-Jets have been non-US airlines.

The A220 has a very big order book for an aircraft of its size.

Indeed, they're surprisingly fuel efficient and have crazy range for their size. You can fly a CS3/A220-300 across the Atlantic from the east coast without any trouble.
