Swiss Airlines Chief Sees Growth for Bombardier CSeries

Deutsche Lufthansa AG’s Swiss Airlines may use Bombardier Inc.’s new CSeries narrow-body airliner to eventually replace some of its Airbus SAS jets as the Canadian manufacturer prepares for the model’s first flight.

A stretched version of the CSeries could be a suitable replacement for the Airbus A320, Swiss Chief Executive Officer Harry Hohmeister said in an interview in Cape Town. Still, the the Montreal-based manufacturer should first focus on development of the two models now being created, he said.
