Farnborough Airshow -- Bombardier Aerospace announced today that Falko Regional
Aircraft Limited (Falko) has signed two Letters of Intent (LOIs) in relation to
the purchase of up to 24 firm Bombardier CS100 mainline jets. 


"This year has been instrumental in building a solid relationship with
Bombardier as we placed its regional jet and turboprop aircraft into our leasing
portfolio and today, we are pleased to take the first step towards adding
Bombardier's state-of-the-art CS100 aircraft," said Mark Hughes, Executive Vice
President, Corporate Finance, Falko Regional Aircraft Limited. "As we begin a
period of worldwide growth and expansion with a strong pipeline of acquisitions,
the CSeries aircraft will figure prominently in our plans. We are confident
about its future and positioning in our core marketplace." 


"As a long-established leader and visionary in the commercial aircraft market,
we are thrilled to welcome Falko to the CSeries aircraft family of customers and
lessors. With its clean-sheet design aimed specifically for the 100- to 149-seat
market, we are creating the future with the CSeries aircraft," said Ray Jones,
Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Asset Management, Bombardier
Commercial Aircraft. "As the fourth lessor to recognize the CSeries aircraft's
considerable market potential, Falko brings an impressive amount of knowledge
and experience in placing aircraft in this market segment and we are pleased it
has placed its confidence in the CS100 aircraft." 


As a leading global lessor, Falko has recently placed Bombardier CRJ900 and
CRJ900 NextGen aircraft with long-time Bombardier customers Mesa Airlines Inc.
and Adria Airways, and has also acquired Q400 aircraft on lease to Croatia
Airlines.


CSeries Aircraft 

Bombardier is creating the future with its CSeries aircraft - the only 100 per
cent-new family of airliners specifically designed for the 100- to 149-seat,
single-aisle market. Benefitting from a clean-sheet design that includes
leading-edge technology and systems integration, advanced materials and
latest-generation aerodynamics, the CSeries aircraft offer a 15 per cent(i) cash
operating cost advantage, a 20 per cent(i) fuel burn advantage, exceptional
operational flexibility, widebody comfort and an unmatched environmental and
noise footprint. 


The CS100 aircraft offers unmatched flexibility for many airline business models

As of today, Bombardier has booked orders and commitments for 471 CSeries
aircraft, which include firm orders for 203 CSeries airliners.
