Falcon Aviation Services chief operating officer Mahmoud Ismael said: "We selected the CSeries aircraft because of its excellent range, exceptional economics and its outstanding cabin. All these factors, along with the strength of the Bombardier brand, position the CS300 aircraft exceedingly well for our business development plans versus its competition."
Bombardier’s new CSeries aircraft family, designed for the 100 to 149-seat market, is equipped with latest technology to meet commercial airline requirements.
Powered by Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1500G engines, these aircraft will provide a 15% cash operating cost advantage and a 20% fuel burn advantage to the operators.
