Airbus pledges to put sales focus on Bombardier's C Series

Brussels

AIRBUS SE will prioritise sales of Bombardier Inc's C Series jet over the smallest version of its own single-aisle plane while seeking to adapt the model's key elements for future projects following the surprise tie-up between the companies, according to chief executive officer Tom Enders.

Airbus will "definitely" push the Canadian model's largest variant, the CS300, at the expense of the similarly sized A319neo, Mr Enders said in an interview on Wednesday.
