"Well-Established" Carrier Becomes Fifth To Purchase The
Jet
An unnamed airline has placed a firm order for three CS100
aircraft and options on three more, according to a news release
Tuesday from Bombardier Aerospace. Deliveries of the aircraft will
start in 2014. Based on the list price for the CS100 aircraft, the
firm order placed by the unidentified carrier is valued at $186
million US, which could increase to $385 million, should all three
options be converted to firm orders.
"As we have been saying for some time now, the CSeries family of
aircraft is an unmatched value proposition in its segment," said
Charles (Chet) Fuller, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing and
Asset Management, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "The orders
announced last week and today confirm that the CSeries aircraft's
widebody-style comfort, exceptional performance capabilities, low
cash operating costs and environmental credentials make it an ideal
air transport solution worldwide."
Designed for the growing 100- to 149-seat market, the CSeries
family of aircraft combines advanced materials, leading-edge
technology and proven methods to meet commercial airline
requirements in 2013 and beyond.
Bombardier claims the CSeries aircraft family will offer a 15
per cent cash operating cost advantage and a 20per cent fuel burn
advantage; greatly reduced noise and emissions; as well as superior
operational flexibility, exceptional airfield performance and a
range of 2,950 nm.
The transaction announced Tuesday increases firm orders for the
CSeries family of aircraft to 103 including 41 CS100 and 62 CS300
aircraft, and raises the number of CSeries aircraft customers to
five.
