April 28 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:DAL) DAL.N on Thursday
said it ordered 75 CSeries CS100 planes from Bombardier Inc
BBDb.TO , throwing a lifeline to a new aircraft program that is
years late and billions of dollars over budget.
The widely anticipated order marks a turning point for
Canada's Bombardier as it strives to break into the fleets of
top airlines globally and serve a niche market for 100-seat
planes that larger rivals Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co BA.N and Airbus Group SE
AIR.PA have neglected.
