Canadian bid to challenge aviation giants
Bombardier launched a new 110-130 seat passenger jet, the CSeries, on Sunday in a Canadian bid to challenge industry giants Airbus and Boeing. German airline Lufthansa has provisionally ordered 30 planes with an option for 30 more, Bombardier said.
Leading potential customers for the plane are Qatar Airways and International Lease Finance Corp, the world's largest aircraft lessor.
This big bold plan may be Bombardier's future; there is apparently no Plan B if it is shot from the sky.
IMO: These planes are usually a bit cramped inside but should be fuel-efficient. They may provide a useful compromise in view of global warming. Bombardier's move is indeed serious.
