Thread: Bombardier unveils 110 seater C Series in YUL. Can it compete with A319 and 737?

At list prices, the 110-seat CS100 costs USD$62 million and the 130-seat CS300 USD$71 million. In contrast, the Boeing 737 MAX costs USD$82 million and the Airbus A319 neo USD$88.8 million.
Bombardier on Thursday said it would also offer a CS300 with an option for up to 160 seats, either as an initial order or as a retrofitted plane.
"The CSeries aircraft is a game-changer in a changing economic environment, and following keen customer interest and market trends, we have enhanced the productivity of the CS300 aircraft further by offering the extra capacity seating option," Arcamone said.
A company statement said Bombardier had 148 firm orders for the aircraft as of December 31, but Arcamone said that number was now "close to 180".
A big buyer is Germany's Lufthansa, the first airline to put in a firm order.
That compares with 1,064 orders for Boeing's competing 737 MAX and more than 1,440 for Airbus' neo family, although only a small fraction of those orders is for the smaller models that compete directly with the CSeries.
