CSeries Picks Up A New Parts Developer
Bombardier Aerospace today
announced that IBEX Airlines of Japan will operate four CRJ700
NextGen airliners. These four aircraft are part of an order that
was announced on June 23, 2008, and are being sold to an
unidentified customer. IBEX currently operates two 50-seat CRJ100
and two 50-seat CRJ200 aircraft. Its 70-seat CRJ700 NextGen
airliners will be the first CRJ700 aircraft in Japan.
The four CRJ700 NextGen aircraft will increase the fleet of CRJ
Series aircraft in Japan to 17. There are also 50 Dash 8 and
Q-Series turboprop airliners in the country. “Japan has been
a steady market for our CRJ and Q-Series aircraft and we’re
delighted that four more aircraft are going into the
country,” said Gary R. Scott, President, Bombardier
Commercial Aircraft. “IBEX will appreciate the low operating
and maintenance costs of the CRJ700 NextGen aircraft, while
passengers will enjoy the enhanced cabin environment.”
Bombardier has recorded firm orders for a total of 1,688 CRJ
Series aircraft, with 1,542
delivered as of April 30, 2009.
There was news about the Bombardier's CSeries aircraft as well.
Aero Vodochody, the largest aerospace manufacturer in the Czech
Republic, is delighted to announce the signing of Long Term
Collaboration Agreement covering the design, development and
manufacturing of Wing Fixed Leading Edges for CSeries. The
implementation of the initial phase involving both Czech and
Belgian design engineers will start immediately. The contract
is for the life of the aircraft and has potential revenues of $400
million. Bombardier says the CSeries is the only family of aircraft
designed specifically for the 100- to 149-seat market. The company
expects the CSeries to be flying by 2012, and entry into service is
targeted for 2013.
