Customer Orders Up to 24 Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen Aircraft
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jun 30, 2014) - Bombardier
Aerospace announced today that a customer, who has requested to
remain unidentified at this time, has placed a firm order for 16
CRJ900 NextGen regional jets and has also taken options
for eight additional airliners of the same type.
Based on the list price for the CRJ900 NextGen
aircraft, the firm order is valued at approximately $727 million
USD. The value could increase to $1.12 billion USD should the
customer exercise its options.
"Bombardier's CRJ900 NextGen airliner was already
recognized for the strength and reliability of its performance and
as the most cost-efficient jet aircraft in its class," said Ray
Jones, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Asset
Management, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "With the most recent
enhancements to the aircraft, we have raised the bar on performance
once again, reducing the CRJ900 NextGen airliner's fuel
burn by up to 5.5 per cent compared to earlier-generation
CRJ900 aircraft, and making it the ideal tool for
operators to develop new markets and increase frequencies."
Including this latest order, Bombardier has recorded firm orders
for 1,833 CRJ Series aircraft, including 359
CRJ900 and CRJ900 NextGen aircraft. Worldwide,
CRJ Series aircraft are in service with more than 60
airlines and more than 30 customers operate corporate variants of
the aircraft. The aircraft are operating in over 50 countries on
six continents, and on average, a CRJ aircraft takes off
every 10 seconds somewhere in the world. CRJ Series
aircraft have transported more than 1.4 billion passengers and have
logged more than 38 million flight hours and over 32 million
takeoffs and landings.
