MONTREAL, April 28 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:DAL) DAL.N
weighed both the pricing and overall economics of Bombardier's
BBDb.TO CSeries line before deciding to order 75 of the
narrowbody jets, the U.S. carrier's incoming Chief Executive Ed
Bastian said on Thursday.
Bastian said the Quebec government's decision to invest n
the CSeries last year gave the U.S. airline more confidence to
choose the jets, adding that it "brings Bombardier in as the
third competitor into the mainline aircraft market place with
Boeing (NYSE:BA) and Airbus. And we are thrilled to be able to have that
choice in the marketplace."
