“Bombardier Aerospace announced today the name of its new commercial aircraft family and revealed the
aircraft’s distinctive black and white livery. The CSeries, for competitive, continental and connector,
would target airlines operating aircraft in the lower end of the 100- to l50-passenger market, a large
segment that is not well served by any aircraft in production today.”
Bombardier press release, July 19, 2004
“On March 15, 2005, Bombardier’s board of directors granted Bombardier Aerospace authority to offer the
new CSeries family of aircraft to customers. The authority to offer is an important step in the process that
could lead to the aircraft program launch. Prior to launch, Bombardier will continue to seek firm
commitments from potential customers and suppliers.”
Bombardier press release, May 13, 2005
“Bombardier announced today that present market conditions do not justify the launch of the CSeries
program at this time. The corporation will now reorient CSeries project efforts, team and resources to
regional jet and turboprop aircraft opportunities to address regional airlines’ future needs in the 80- to 100-
seat aircraft market.”
Bombardier press release, January 31, 2006

Aerospace, to offer a new generation of aircraft named CSeries to its clients. The company postponed the
actual launch of the project several times, prompting investors and analysts to question what the long-terrn
strategy of the company was.
