The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has
accepted a large scale model of the new CSeries commercial jetliner

"The environmental benefits of the CSeries aircraft in combating
climate change, reducing noise for communities in the vicinity of
airports and improving local air quality are in line with the three
main goals of our environmental strategy," said Raymond Benjamin,
Secretary General, ICAO. "ICAO is already taking the environmental
characteristics of this aircraft into consideration for future
standards for fuel burn and noise."
"The timing of this presentation is particularly significant for
Bombardier, as this year marks our 25th anniversary in the
aerospace industry," said Guy C. Hachey, President and Chief
Operating Officer, Bombardier Aerospace. "Since our entry into
civil aviation, the men and women of Bombardier Aerospace have
worked with dedication and passion to design and deliver innovative
aircraft that continue to change the face of business and
commercial aviation."
"The development of the new CSeries aircraft continues
Bombardier's tradition of providing innovative aviation solutions
that meet both current and future needs," added Mr. Hachey. "We are
extremely proud that a model of our game-changing CSeries airliner,
which has been designed to meet the challenge of balancing
profitability with reduced environmental impact, will now be
permanently displayed here at ICAO."
