Cairo
BOMBARDIER Inc is in advanced discussions with EgyptAir over a potential US$1.1 billion order for C Series jets, adding to the programme's momentum from a recent partnership with Airbus SE, people familiar with the matter said.
An agreement, which is likely to include a firm order for 12 CS300 jets, could be announced at the Dubai Air Show, said the people, who asked not to be named because the talks are private. Options to buy another dozen planes are also under discussion, said one of the people. There is no guarantee that a deal will be reached.
