Bombardier looks to revitalise older aircraft
Bombardier is trying to fire up sales of its aging regional jets by revamping the cabin interiors, part of a wider effort to replenish the backlogs for its older aircraft amid tough competition. The plane maker said Tuesday it will move forward with a previously announced concept for new interiors for its regional jets. Changes passengers will notice include more room in the overhead bins, mood lighting and washrooms that are 60% bigger. The company did not say how much it would spend on the refresh. Bombardier is also making changes to its Q400 turboprop aircraft. It has introduced a series of design tweaks to the planes over the past 18 months that have added 3 more windows to each side of the aircraft while enhancing the cabin interior and increasing capacity to as many as 90 seats. <br/>
