(Adds more comments from Swiss CEO)
ZURICH, June 4 (Reuters) - Airline Swiss, part of Lufthansa
LHAG.DE , has decided to upgrade another five of its Bombardier
BBDb.TO CS100 jets on order to the larger variant and will
likely do the same for another five, the carrier's CEO said on
Saturday.
Swiss, the launch customer for the new plane, had placed a
firm order for 30 CS100 jets and last year already converted 10
of those to the larger CS300 variant.
Saturday's announcement means Swiss now has 15 CS300 jets on
order. With 10 fixed as the CS100 variant, it can still decide
to upgrade the final five in the order.
"There are certain routes and markets for the larger version
... especially for Geneva and Zurich routes," Thomas Kluehr,
chief executive of Swiss, said at a Star Alliance airlines event
in Zurich.
Kluehr said Swiss would decide "relatively soon" whether to
upgrade the other five. That would give Swiss 10 125-seater
CS100s and 20 145-seater CS300s.
Bombardier flew executives from the Star Alliance member
airlines to the event in Zurich on a CS100 plane, stepping up
efforts to win new customers.
Kluehr declined to comment on prices paid, saying only that
the original contract allowed for an upgrade on the size of the
jets.
