LAS VEGAS, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Bombardier Inc BBDb.TO said
on Tuesday it has agreed to sell 20 of its Challenger 350
business jets to Flexjet LLC, in a deal valued at about $544
million based on list prices of the planes.
Flexjet, which has signed a memorandum of understanding with
Bombardier, is owned by Directional Aviation Capital and is one
of the world's largest providers of private jet travel.
The provisional order comes as a huge boost for Bombardier,
which in recent months has seen its order book affected by
struggles with its CSeries line of passenger jets, as well as
delays and problems with its new business jets.
