Bombardier has revised delivery forceast of the new Bombardier CS100 commercial jet that entered service with SWISS Airline in July.
Delay in delivery of the Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan engine has forced the Canadian manufacturer to reduce delivery from 15 to 7 aircraft this year.
Bombardier said it is closely working with Pratt & Whitney to quickly address this supplier ramp-up issue.
The Company confirmed that the two CS100 aircraft in service with SWISS have collectively flown nearly 400 revenue-generating flights, and accumulated almost 600 flight hours.
A third CS100 aircraft is scheduled to be delivered to SWISS next month, and the CS300 – the larger C Series variant – is expected to enter service with airBaltic in the fourth quarter.
Fred Cromer, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft said the company is confident to meet the production goal of 90 to 120 aircraft per year by 2020.
