SWISS gets new regional jet

SWISS, part of the Lufthansa Group, is to become the lead airline for Bombardier’s C Series regional jet.  The parent company earlier this year announced an order of 30, plus 30 options, for the new aircraft.  The aircraft will replace all 20 of SWISS Avro RJ100s from 2014 onward.  It can be assumed that the short runway at London City Airport is expected to be useable for the new ‘plane.  The C Series is claimed to be twice as quiet as the Avro, which in its time had set new levels of reduced noise. www.bombardier.com
