Bombardier Announces Firm Order for 10 CRJ900s

Bombardier said it has secured a firm order from an unidentified customer for 10 CRJ900 regional airliners. Announced on June 20, the order is valued at $472 million based on the list price of the aircraft.

The buyer “has requested to remain unidentified at this time,” Bombardier said.

With the latest contract, Bombardier has booked a total of 1,902 firm orders for CRJ series aircraft, including 428 for the 90-seat CRJ900, which is powered by twin GE CF34-8C5 turbofans. Last month, the Canadian manufacturer revealed that it has redesigned the CRJ900 cabin to include widening the passenger entrance area, new mood lighting and a new lavatory. It is making the improved cabin available to customers as a retrofit.

The CRJ900 “continues to maintain its solid footing and set industry benchmarks with its lower operating costs, outstanding operational flexibility and enhanced cabin amenities,” stated Fred Cromer, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft president.
