Bombardier has put pen to paper on its first deal to sell C Series jets in more than a year, but says it will deliver fewer than expected to other customers this year. The jet maker says it has secured an order with an unnamed European-based airline for up to 61 of the jets. Based on the list price, the firm order portion would be worth $2.4 billion. "This significant new order confirms the increasing confidence customers have in the C Series," CEO Alain Bellemare said of the deal with the unnamed buyer. "Looking forward, as Airbus joins the program, and with the C Series continuing to prove itself in service, we expect sales momentum to accelerate quickly."
