New rival for Airbus and Boeing - Canadian Bombardier lands $1.53B deal - by Bombardier lands $1.53B deal- by Francoise Shalom
German airline Deutsche Lufthansa AG firmed up its order for 30 Bombardier CSeries CS100 jets yesterday, formally catapulting Montreal’s aircraft manufacturer into the narrow-body airliner segment currently carved up between Boeing and Airbus.The firm order, first announced as a tentative deal last summer, will mark the first time Bombardier produces traditional-looking jets with wing-mounted engines, a niche that has long been the exclusive preserve of Airbus’s A320 and Boeing’s 737 families of aircraft. With the order in hand, Bombardier will now push ahead with building its largest aircraft to date. The 110-to-149 seat aircraft has been in development for the better part of a decade and will put the Montreal-based plane maker in the big leagues. The CSeries will compete against the smallest planes built by Boeing and Airbus.
