DUBAI, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Canadian planemaker Bombardier Inc (TO:BBDb) said
on Sunday it is nearly 100 percent done with flight testing of
its FTK-5 test aircraft for its new CSeries regional jet.
Fred Cromer, president of Bombardier Commercial Aircraft
told reporters the programme was doing well, and was seeing
demand from customers in the Gulf region. Bombardier's CS100 is
making its debut at the Dubai Airshow this week.
The company added that Latvia-based Air Baltic would be the
launch operator of its CS300 aircraft when it takes delivery in
the second half of 2016. The Latvian flag carrier has 13 CS300
aircraft on firm order and options for seven more.
