Air Canada threatens to walk away from Bombardier CSeries over maintenance deal
FINANCIAL POST --
Air Canada is threatening to walk away from its plan to buy up to 75 CSeries jets from Bombardier Inc. unless the federal government gives it more flexibility over where it does its maintenance work.
In testimony that appears to contradict the airline’s claims that politics had nothing to do with its decision to order the CSeries, an executive told a Senate committee reviewing changes to the legislation that governs Air Canada that it won’t buy the aircraft unless the government gives it more latitude.
“There are alternatives to the CSeries, as I’m sure you know. There are other manufacturers that make comparable airplanes.”
