Delta Air Lines Inc. is considering whether to purchase Bombardier Inc.’s C Series aircraft, the carrier’s chief executive said on Tuesday, in what could be a headline-grabbing win for the plane maker’s new flagship jet.
Canada’s Bombardier hopes to find a major customer to give momentum to the single-aisle C Series as it prepares the jet to enter service after years of delays and cash problems.
“We actually think at the right price it’s quite a competitive airplane, particularly given the engine technology,” Delta chief executive officer Richard Anderson said on the airline’s quarterly conference call with investors. “We’re taking a very serious look at it.”
Delta, the third-largest U.S. airline by capacity, previewed the jet in late December at its Atlanta headquarters.
