SWISS flies first passenger flight with new Bombardier jetliner

Bombardier called the special SWISS airline flight "the most important take-off in the history of the CSeries." The CSeries CS100 is the first newly designed airliner of its kind in decades. SWISS flew the plane's first passenger flight Friday from Dublin to Zurich.

SWISS' first CS100 commercial flight with paying customers is set for July 15. With the CSeries, Bombardier is attempting to challenge Airbus and Boeing in their bread-and-butter market of 120-160 seaters. Outfitted with 118 seats in a single-class cabin, this flight didn't offer the same cabin configuration that SWISS plans to roll out in July. That will boast 125 seats by the German manufacturer ZIM.<br/>
