Bombardier anticipates European CS300 approval within 40 days
Bombardier is hoping to secure EASA type validation for the CS300 within the next 30-40 days, following on from Transport Canada’s type certification, which was granted July 11. Bombardier CSeries VP and general manager Rob Dewar said the CS300 was on track with its certification program, running roughly 6 months behind the CS100 which was recently delivered to SWISS. The CS100 and CS300 have around 99% commonality, speeding up the process. Dewar gave the 30- to 40-day timeline for the EASA approval and said the FAA rubber stamp is expected to follow soon after, ahead of the first CS300 delivery to airBaltic in Oct 2016. “I can also confirm further improvements to the performance out of challenging airports,” he said. “We can now confirm another 150nm out of London City and another 450nm out of Denver.” <br/>
