First CSeries aircraft is delivered to SWISS
Bombardier delivered the first CSeries aircraft to Lufthansa subsidiary Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), at ceremonies in Montreal Wednesday. The June 29 delivery marks an important milestone in an aircraft programme beset with technical problems, delays and difficulty securing customers. SWISS originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s, plus 30 options, but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant. Wednesday’s handover should begin a process in which SWISS will receive nine aircraft by year end, taking one aircraft per month in July, August and September. After that, deliveries will increase to two aircraft per month. The first aircraft will enter service July 15, Bombardier said. Bombardier essentially relaunched the CSeries program after program delays and a slow start in sales, put the program in question.<br/>
