“I’m extremely pleased about the opportunity to join Bombardier Commercial Aircraft,” said Mr. Fuller. “The CSeries aircraft will be an outstanding product that will ultimately change the face of commercial aviation in the 100 to 149-seat commercial market segment. The marketplace is highly competitive, but with the CSeries aircraft, Bombardier will have the right product at the right time. With an aircraft portfolio consisting of the Q400 NextGen turboprop, the CRJ Series regional jets and the CSeries family of aircraft, Bombardier will have the most fuel efficient, the most economic, and the quietest fleets of any other aircraft in their class."
