The C Series is the only aircraft optimized for the 100- to 150-seat market segment, which drives the aircraft's phenomenal economic proposition and performance, opening up new opportunities for single-aisle aircraft operation. The CS100 aircraft is the most efficient and economical commercial aircraft allowing airlines to viably offer direct intercontinental flights from LCY Airport to both North America as well as the Middle-East on top of opening numerous new route opportunities within Europe, Russia and Northern Africa, which were not possible with old-generation aircraft. Bombardier has extensive experience operating at LCY Airport with various aircraft types, including the Q400 turboprop aircraft, as well as the Challenger 650 aircraft and Global 5000 and Global 6000 business jets. Transport Canada and EASA certifications for steep approach operations with the CS100 aircraft is expected in the second quarter of 2017.

Following the landmark C Series non-stop flight to JFK, we look forward to the completion of its regulatory certification, followed by entry into commercial passenger operation with SWISS,' added Declean Collier, CEO of London City Airport. 'It has been a pleasure to welcome the Bombardier CS100 aircraft and its team to London City Airport for the first time, as part of their testing and evaluation process.

'The aircraft is meeting all performance expectations and clearly demonstrates that it is the best performing and most efficient aircraft in the 100- to 150-seat class.' This confirms the C Series aircraft's unparalleled capabilities,' said Rob Dewar, Vice President, C Series Aircraft Program, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. The aircraft smoothly performed all eight take-offs and landings during a two-day period, as planned. The C Series is the only commercial aircraft that was specifically designed for operations at LCY and we are very proud of its performance. 'The C Series aircraft program achieved another significant milestone with the completion of the demonstration tests at LCY.

The direct intercontinental flight followed a series of successful flights to demonstrate the CS100 aircraft's exceptional capabilities for operations to and from LCY, including steep approach landing and short runway performance. MONTREAL, QUEBEC-(Marketwired - Mar 27, 2017) - Bombardier Commercial Aircraft confirmed today that a C Series aircraft with a representative payload successfully flew non-stop from London City Airport (LCY) to John F.
