options on another 18. Based on the list price of the CRJ1000

“The CRJ1000 NextGen aircraft continues to perform beyond
expectations with its current operators, and we are thrilled to
welcome another customer,” said Mike Arcamone, President,
Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. “The CRJ1000 NextGen aircraft
is achieving the lowest seat mile cost in its market segment;
delivering exceptional reliability; and contributing to more
sustainable aviation with its reduced environmental
footprint.”
Including this order, Bombardier has recorded firm orders for 1,715
CRJ Series aircraft, with 1,661 delivered as of December 31,
2011.
The planemaker also says that a second customer which has asked
to not be named at the present time has signed a firm purchase
agreement for five Q400 NextGen airliners. Based on the list price
for the Q400 NextGen airliner, the transaction is valued at
approximately $160 million.
“Q400 and Q400 NextGen aircraft have been gaining headway
in markets around the world, and approximately 40 operators now
have these aircraft in service or on firm order,” said Mike
Arcamone, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. “Q400
aircraft have transformed the perception of turboprops, and as
airlines and other operators benefit from the aircraft’s
advanced capabilities, the turboprop lives on.”
