Airline Orders Four Bombardier CRJ700 NextGen Aircraft |
|
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 23, 2008) - Bombardier Aerospace
announced today that it has received a signed firm order for four
CRJ700 NextGen regional jets. The airline, which placed the order,
has also taken options on an additional four CRJ700 NextGen aircraft
and has requested to remain unidentified at this time.
Based on the list price for the CRJ700 NextGen aircraft, the firm
order contract is valued at approximately $146 million US. If all
four options are exercised, the value could rise to approximately $
302 million US.
"Orders for our CRJ Series NextGen aircraft since the NextGen program
was introduced in the spring of 2007, are very encouraging," said
Gary R. Scott, President, Bombardier Commercial aircraft. "This
transaction increases those firm orders to 213 aircraft from 19
customers. Clearly, the family resonates well with our customers and
our investment in the program has been well justified."
Bombardier's CRJ700 NextGen, CRJ900 NextGen and CRJ1000 NextGen
airliners have all-new interiors and improved economics compared to
earlier CRJ Series aircraft. These improvements come from fuel burn
savings of up to four per cent and direct maintenance cost reductions
because of lower airframe maintenance requirements.
Bombardier has now received orders for 1,667 CRJ Series aircraft, and
as of April 30, 2008, 1,485 had been delivered to customers.
