Dont forget the 16 C Series ordered at Paris last year by " major European carrier".........
BA were looking at C Series, and representatives went ot Belfast to look at the assembly of the wings etc, so they certainly were looking, as one would expect, but dont know if they were the mystery order.
Lets not forget, depending on CityJets future BA may be in the fold, they would seem like the logical buyer, if they would be in a position to adsorb it so close to the challenge and cost of bmi integration, thats a different matter!
Another rumour that has surfaced is that BACF will add E195's for a new
LGW operation
Cant see 195's being ordered for LGW for 2 reasons
- Increase costs per seat at LGW lends itself to using larger aircraft
- Easyjet continued focus on business and frequency and hence cost per per seat as above
