Bombardier Inc. secured a launch customer for its CSeries plane while failing to land a major deal from Qatar Airways Ltd. after the Gulf carrier shelved an order and said it may buy Airbus SAS’s rival A320neo this week.
A “major network carrier” signed a firm contract for 10 CSeries jets and will be the single-aisle model’s first operator, Bombardier said today at the Paris Air Show, adding that the airline has asked not to be identified at present.
