2007-02-19 News Release
Bombardier launches new regional aircraft Bombardier announces the launch of its CRJ1000 100-Seat regional jet, the next major step in the evolution of the CRJ Series aircraft family.
Previously designated the CRJ900X jet, the CRJ1000 regional airliner
is designed specifically to meet the needs of growing regional airlines
for jets of up to 100 seats, with a focus on extremely low operating costs
and improvements to cabin comfort.
The CRJ1000 aircraft program is launched with 38 firm orders, 15 of which are CRJ900 conversions, and 23 conditional orders and options. The following three customers have placed these orders. Brit Air of Morlaix, France, a wholly owned subsidiary of Air France, has placed a firm order for eight CRJ1000 aircraft, and has taken options on eight additional CRJ1000 aircraft. Based on CRJ1000 list price, the value of Brit Air's eight firm ordered aircraft is approximately $371 million US which could rise to $768 million US if the airline exercises its eight options. With the launch of the CRJ1000 aircraft, My Way Airlines of Italy is converting, as announced in September 2006, 15 of its 19 CRJ900 regional jet orders to CRJ1000 regional jets. The original contract value for the 19 CRJ900 aircraft, based on CRJ900 aircraft list price, was approximately $702 million US. This value will increase to approximately $857 million US for four CRJ900 and 15 CRJ1000 aircraft, based on CRJ900 and CRJ1000 aircraft list prices. An undisclosed customer has placed a firm order for 15 of the aircraft, with a conditional order for an additional 15. Based on CRJ1000 list price, the contract value for this 15 aircraft firm order is approximately $704 million US, which could increase to $1.5 billion US if the airline's 15 conditional orders are executed. The new CRJ1000 regional jet is scheduled to enter service in the fourth
quarter of calendar year 2009. First flight is scheduled for the summer
of 2008. With a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 91,800 pounds (41,632
kilograms), the CRJ1000 aircraft will offer a maximum range of 1,691 nautical
miles (3,139 kilometres) with 100 passengers, under certain operating
conditions. Compared to older generation aircraft of similar passenger
capacity currently in operation, the CRJ1000 will also respond to today's
environmental needs by providing substantially lower fuel consumption
and achieving up to 30 per cent reduced carbon dioxide engine emissions.
