Aviation
· Transaction includes options on 10 additional CSeries aircraft
· CSeries aircraft’s performance and environmental features position it for operation from downtown airport
Toronto, June 1, 2011 ­ Bombardier Aerospace announced today that Braathens Leasing
Limited, a member of Braathens Aviation of Sweden, has placed a firm order for five
Bombardier CS100 and five CS300 mainline jetliners. Braathens also took options on an additional 10 CSeries aircraft.
Based on list prices for the CS100 and CS300 aircraft, the firm order contract is valued at approximately $665 million US. That could increase to approximately $1.37 billion US if the 10 options are converted to firm orders.
The CSeries aircraft will be operated by Braathens Aviation member Malmö Aviation from its base at the Bromma-Stockholm City Airport, situated just a few kilometres from downtown
Stockholm. Malmö Aviation currently operates 12 jet aircraft and intends to renew its fleet and explore new business opportunities with its CSeries aircraft starting in 2014.
« The performance and environmental features of Bombardier’s CSeries aircraft will not only strengthen our position as the leading operator at Bromma-Stockholm City Airport, but will allow us to expand our business throughout the region, » said Geir Stormorken, Chairman,
Braathens Aviation.
« Bromma, being a city airport, has very strict noise regulations, as well as a short runway, » said
Knut Solberg, Chief Executive Officer, Braathens Aviation. « We have been very focused on noise, emissions, fuel consumption and runway performance in our decision for a new aircraft type. With the CSeries aircraft, we found exactly what we were looking for. The CSeries aircraft promise excellent runway performance, noise levels which are less than half those of any similarly-sized aircraft currently in production, as well as unsurpassed environmental credentials. We think that the CSeries family of aircraft is a `game-changer’ in the context of the environment and performance, and we are very excited about introducing the CSeries jetliners to our passengers. »
