Bombardier reports falling orders, rising deliveries
Monday February 8, 2010Bombardier Aerospace received net orders for 88 commercial aircraft in its fiscal year ended Jan. 31, down from 114 the prior year. Orders for 2009-10 comprised 22 CRJs, 16 Q400s and 50 CSeries aircraft. However, the company's net total was 11 owing largely to -85 net orders for business aircraft. Its 2008-09 net was 367. Full-year commercial deliveries rose to 121 from 110 in 2008-09, comprising 60 CRJs and 61 Q-Series aircraft. Total deliveries dropped to 302 from the 349 posted in the year ended Jan. 31, 2009. It said most 2010-11 deliveries will occur after the first quarter as a result of production rate reductions announced in November and the delay in certification and service entry of the CRJ1000 to the second half of the fiscal year (ATWOnline, Dec. 4, 2009). It expects full-year commercial deliveries to fall some 20%.
