There has been speculation that Bombardier's Brazilian rival, Embraer, is looking at an E200 Series that would target the same category. Bombardier could go ahead with the CSeries without locking in a major airline as launch customer.

Bombardier is reducing production of its CRJ700/900 line and eliminating some 1,330 jobs, with the cut in the larger regional jet program offset somewhat by an increase in production of Q400 turboprops.

Oct 23, 2006 Bombardier recently announced two big orders for its regional jets, but analysts have said the company needs to land more in the weeks ahead to avoid cutting back production. Oct 23, 2006 Bombardier spokesman Marc Duchesne said the company's board still requires orders of 50 to 100 units for the CSeries jet to get the green light. Bombardier expects to decide definitely on the CSeries by January 31 and on the 96-seat CRJ900X after then. If approved, the CSeries would go into service by 2013, while the CRJ900X would be available for 2008. For the roughly USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar.

Oct 23, 2006 Jacques Kavafian, an analyst at Research Capital, said Bombardier may launch the USD$2 billion CSeries program after all, in conjunction with its proposed USD$300 million plan for the CRJ900X, a 98-seat stretch version of its 86-seat CRJ900. Kavafian said he agreed with Bombardier's view that there is a global market over 20 years for some 5,000 aircraft seating 100 to 135 passengers. Oct 23, 2006 Many of the aircraft built in the past by Bombardier have been to serve the lower end of the range, 100 to 120 seats, are not economical, and the world's leading jet makers, Boeing and Airbus have not been successful in filling the gap, he said. Bombardier halted the CSeries project in late January, saying it could not find enough customers to justify the development program. The company, which is the world's third-largest civil aircraft maker, has said the program is simply on hold, not abandoned, and that it ultimately could decide to go ahead with it.
