Bombardier to join crowd selling jets of 90-110 seats
Article Abstract:
Bombardier Inc. has entered the lucrative market for jetliners with seating capacity of around 100 in announcing plans for a 90-seat jetliner. The firm is the fourth aircraft manufacturer vying for a market with a demand of around 2,500 planes worth an estimated $62 billion over the next 20 years. The demand for new aircraft is anticipated to meet traffic growth over short, frequently traveled routes, as well as replacement for current planes. Bombardier of Canada's new 90-seat aircraft, hoped to be formally rolled out in 1999 with first deliveries in 2003, complements its 50-seat and 70-seat commuter jets.
