13.05.08
Bombardier's CSeries small mainline airliner could be cleared to operate from London City Airport from 2014, Flight International reports. Speaking at the manufacturer's pre-Farnborough air show briefing in Belfast, president of commercial aircraft Gary Scott said that Bombardier plans to certificate the 110-seat CSeries model at London City ‘within one year of production’.
He said: ‘The CSeries 110 will allow European carriers to fly 850nm [1,570km] sectors in Europe out of London City airport. This distance is where major business centres are in Europe.' Bombardier's board has authorised the company to offer the 110/130-seat, Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan-powered CSeries to potential customers, he said, adding: ‘The plan is to launch the CSeries this year.' Entry into service is scheduled for 2013.
