Certified by the Canadian CAA few days ago FAA and EASA next and Lufthansa is getting the first deliveries mid 2016 for their Swiss subsidiary !
Just read about the certification....thanks.
Still, they have at least 243 orders on the books. Assuming a production of 10 a month, ramping up to 20 (ambitious, this early in a program that is a completely new scheme for Bombardier), would mean at least a couple of years.
Unless some of those orders are for a holding company that would lease them to us.
