BELFAST, Oct 17 (Reuters) - The leader of the Northern Irish party propping up Britain's minority government said Airbus SE's AIR.PA acquisition of a majority stake in Bombardier Inc 's BBDb.TO C-Series passenger jet program was "incredibly significant news" for Belfast.

"I'm thrilled there is a bright future ahead following what has been a dark time for staff and management. Airbus are a fitting partner," Arlene Foster said in a statement, referring to the 4,200 Bombardier jobs in Belfast under threat by a trade dispute with U.S. rival Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co BA.N over the C-Series jet.
