Firm Commitment For Eight New CRJ900 Aircraft
Bombardier Aerospace announced Thursday that Deutsche Lufthansa
AG of Germany has placed a firm order for eight CRJ900 NextGen
regional jets. The transaction involved the exercise of eight
previously announced purchase rights.
Based on the list price for the CRJ900 NextGen aircraft, the
contract is valued at approximately $317 million.
Altogether, Deutsche Lufthansa and its regional partners have
previously ordered a total of 109 Bombardier CRJ Series regional
jets, including 62 CRJ100 and CRJ200 aircraft, 20 CRJ700 aircraft
and 27 CRJ900 and CRJ900 NextGen aircraft. The carriers also
operate several very efficient Bombardier Q300 and Q400 turboprop
aircraft. The CRJ900 NextGen regional jets announced today will be
configured with 86 passenger seats.
"The CRJ900 NextGen aircraft is an outstanding airliner with
first-class reliability, excellent fuel-efficiency and a reduced
environmental footprint," said Nico Buchholz, Senior Vice President
Corporate Fleet, Deutsche Lufthansa AG. "We are very pleased with
the CRJ900 NextGen regional jets currently in Lufthansa Regional's
fleet and we have no hesitation in adding more."
"In 1992, Lufthansa was the first airline in the world to begin
service with the original CRJ100 regional jet," said Gary R. Scott,
President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "Bombardier's long
relationship with Lufthansa, which is known for its technical
excellence, has contributed significantly to the ensuing success of
the CRJ Series aircraft program. This order further strengthens
that relationship, and follows the recent delivery of the 100th CRJ
regional jet to the Lufthansa group."
