Bombardier’s CSeries looks to boost economy experience
Bombardier is aiming to reverse a trend that has become common for the average flier: the increasing misery of the economy-class flying experience. The plane maker’s new CSeries jetliner begins flying paying passengers Friday with an economy cabin outfitted with wider seats in each row, bigger overhead bins and more spacious lavatories. The company hopes to bring a level of comfort reserved for much larger globe-hopping jetliners to much shorter flights. Fighting for a market that overlaps with the smallest jets from its US and European rivals, Bombardier opted for a 5-abreast economy class cabin with 18 and 19 inch seats. Boeing and Airbus fuselages are wider than Bombardier’s, but seat 6 in each row with roughly 17 and 18-inch seats. <br/>
