Bombardier CS300 Aircraft Awarded Type Certification by Transport Canada
After a two-year delay, Bombardier’s C Series single-aisle jet, purpose-built for the 100- to 150-seat market, will enter service this Friday with launch customer Swiss International Airlines. Based on a demo flight Bombardier (Chalet C3) hosted here yesterday aboard FTV5, a fully configured CS100 flight-test aircraft, passengers should welcome its addition to the commercial fleet. To avoid any confusion, FTV5 is in Swiss livery but Swiss is due to bring its first aircraft here too, to park it on the static display.

The order, placed by the Tanzanian government, was already alluded to in June by Minister for Finance and Planning, Dr Phillip Mpango during a presentation to parliament on the State of the Tanzanian economy.
“The government will buy three aircrafts [sic]: One Bombardier CS300 with capacity to carry up to 150 passengers and two Bombardier Q aircrafts [sic] — with carrying capacity of up to 80 passengers,” he was quoted by The Daily News.
No delivery date for the C Series, or any confirmation that it would be placed with Air Tanzania, was given.
Bombardier said it will deliver seven CSeries aircraft in 2016 instead of 15 as planned, citing Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan (GTF) engine delivery delays.
