Canadian airframer Bombardier has received an order of four CRJ700 NextGen regional jets from an unnamed customer.
The airline also took options for four additional aircraft.
Bombardier estimates the value for the firm orders is US$146 million, and US$302 million if all options are exercised.
"Orders for our CRJ Series NextGen aircraft since the NextGen program was introduced in the spring of 2007, are very encouraging," says Gary R. Scott, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft.
"This transaction increases those firm orders to 213 aircraft from 19 customers. Clearly, the family resonates well with our customers and our investment in the program has been well justified."
