Turkey- Bombardier gets order for 20 business jets
(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) >Canadian aviation giant Bombardier announced on April 1 it has received an order for 20 of its Challenger 350 business jets valued at about $534 million.
The small twin-engine jet can carry up to nine passengers and fly as far as 6000 kilometers on a single tank of fuel.
The Montreal-based company did not disclose the buyer.
Bombardier has been struggling recently in its first foray outside of business and regional passenger aircraft and into the category of medium-range single aisle jets with the launch of its new C Series jetliner.
The C Series is meant to go head to head with the workhorses of the aviation market the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737.
But a lack of significant pre-sales forced the company to seek billions in government aid while it cut thousands of jobs in order to conserve cash.
The first C Series jetliner is now expected to be delivered and go into service in June.
