The Canadian Press - Bombardier Aerospace says its CS300 passenger jets will have a capacity of 160 seats, up from the previously announced 149, in an effort to improve the economics of operating the new planes.
The company announced the increased capacity during a briefing at its facility in Mirabel, north of Montreal, where officials showed off the first completed CSeries plane.
The first flight of the long-awaited CSeries jets — Bombardier's new family of planes for commercial airlines — is expected by the end of June.
The CSeries 100 jet will have 100 to 125 seats and the CSeries 300 jet will have 135 to 160 seats.
