What kind of aircraft is this?
The Airbus A220 (originally the Bombardier CSeries) is a modern twin-engine, single-aisle jet for 100–150 seat routes.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).
There are 184 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total. That's a well-established type that mechanics, pilots and regulators know very well.
An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Airbus A220 →

Feb 19, 1996 (21:08 UTC)Accident · Vancouver, WANTSB #SEA96LA060Aircraft in report: Cessna 150GDamage: SubstantialHighest injury: Minor
This happened before the current aircraft was built, so it involved a different aircraft that previously used this N-number.
NTSB probable cause: the pilot's failure to use carburetor heat, and his delay in aborting the takeoff after noting sluggish acceleration. Factors were: the carburetor icing conditions, the trees off the end of the runway, and the soft ground conditions in the forced landing area.
