Article Abstract:
Bombardier Inc. has entered the lucrative market for jetliners with seating capacity of around 100 in announcing plans for a 90-seat jetliner. The firm is the fourth aircraft manufacturer vying for a market with a demand of around 2,500 planes worth an estimated $62 billion over the next 20 years. The demand for new aircraft is anticipated to meet traffic growth over short, frequently traveled routes, as well as replacement for current planes. Bombardier of Canada's new 90-seat aircraft, hoped to be formally rolled out in 1999 with first deliveries in 2003, complements its 50-seat and 70-seat commuter jets.

Article Abstract:
Fairchild Dornier is the latest talk of the commuter-jet industry in spite of its very small small-jet market share at around 30 orders and 20 options for its new 32-seat 328JET aircraft. Industry analysts and potential customers have become impressed with the firm's aggressive plans for new projects including plans to stretch the 32-seat 328JET aircraft to 44seats. Fairchild, pending negotiations with some big carriers, is also set to introduce a new 70-seat jet in the summer of 1998 followed by 55-seat and 90-seat derivatives.
