Delta Air Lines 'taking a very serious look' at Bombardier's CSeries aircraft
Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson confirmed (19-Jan-2016) the carrier recently met with officials from Bombardier to discuss the CSeries aircraft, which the manufacturer is positioning as its new flagship. He said it is "quite an impressive" aircraft, and "we're taking a very serious look at it." Mr Anderson added, "It's the first big innovation since the Boeing 787 revolutionised the composite structure for the fuselage of the airplane. At the right price it's quite a competitive airplane, particularly given the engine technology." [more - original PR]
