Swiss decision on CSeries upgrade by year-end
Swiss International Air Lines will decide whether to upgrade a further five Bombardier CSeries aircraft to the larger CS300 by the end of the year. Swiss, the launch customer for the new plane, had placed a firm order for 30 CS100s and has already converted 15 of those to the larger CS300 variant. "It's still open, but I think it's very probable that we will decide for the larger," Swiss CE Thomas Kluehr said. Lufthansa also has an option for a further 30 CSeries jets, with the decision on whether to exercise those up to parent Lufthansa's executive board. "It's a wonderful aircraft, so I think the chances are good, but I don't know when the final decision will be made," Kluehr said.<br/>
