Bombardier not expected to announce CSeries orders in Paris: Source

Bombardier is unlikely to announce new CSeries orders at the Paris Air Show next week, as it grapples with broader market weakness, though demand for smaller regional aircraft is growing, a person familiar with the matter said. Expectations are growing for the pane-and-train-maker to announce new orders for its fuel-efficient 110-to-130 seat CSeries jets after it failed to secure any substantial orders in about a year. But even as some market observers look to showcase events like Paris, planemakers are bracing for softer sales in 2017 after a prolonged order boom. "I think it is a slow time period because there was this binge of orders in the last few years," said the person. "Airlines are still trying to figure out their fleet plans." <br/>
