Delta confirmed it will use its first Bombardier C Series narrowbodies scheduled for delivery next year on high-value routes now served by large regional jets as well as for new markets that fit the 100-seater’s profile.
“For high-demand, 76-seat, long-range RJ markets…that will probably be the first selection” for new C Series twinjets, Delta President Glen Hauenstein said.
Delta plans to base the first C Series in New York,” he added. “I won't tell you where it's going to go, but it will start in New York.”
It fits the narrative. CS100 bumps CR9 down to the flying thats CR2. CR2 moves to ATL/DTW.
