That was Fokker and it could be Bombardier aviation too.... I hope not
I really hope they don't sell to a foreigner
Fokker history was different, they invested in a smaller version: F-100 sales were good, then Fokker begun development of the Fokker 70, a smaller version of the F100. But sales of the F70 were below expectations and the F100 had strong competition from Boeing and Airbus.
But today, Boeing and Airbus have tons of orders (over 4100 of A319 to A321). Their real fear is that the waiting line for delivery is too long then some costumers might have a closer look to Bombardier offer, because the numbers ($$) do not lie:
Airbus A319neo: First Flight 2015. seats 144, Fuel efficiency per seat 2.04 L/100 km (115 mpg-US)
Boeing 737 MAX 7: First Flight (?) 2017, seats 144, Fuel efficiency per seat(?) 2.04 L/100 km (115 mpg-US)
Bombardier CSeries 100: First Flight 2013, seats 115, Fuel efficiency per seat 2.14 L/100 km (110 mpg-US)
Bombardier CSeries 300: First Flight 2015, seats 140, Fuel efficiency per seat 1.92 L/100 km (123 mpg-US)
Hang on Bombardier for another 4-6 months and you'll get the big slice of pie!
