| | ATW: Bombardier drops CSeries program for now |
 | | Bombardier announced yesterday that it is putting the CSeries aircraft program on hold after failing to find a launch customer for its proposed 110/130-seat jet, but it stopped short of pulling the plug entirely."We are not talking a cancellation. |
 | | The CSeries appeared to have gotten further; at the Paris Air Show last June, Bombardier announced a preliminary agreement with Pratt & Whitney Canada to supply a powerplant, but little has been heard about the program since. |
 | | When the CSeries was unveiled at the Farnborough Air Show in 2004, Bombardier proposed two basic models, the C110 and C130, configured for either long- or short-haul travel between 1,800 and 3,000 nm. |
