Lufthansa Group (Frankfurt) has signed a contract with Bombardier for 30 110-seat CS100 jets (formerly known as the C110) which is part of the CSeries of new airplanes. The group also secured options for 30 additional aircraft. The new type will be operated by Swiss International Air Lines (Zurich) and will replace the 20 current BAe RJ100s and allow for further growth. The new type is expected to enter service in 2013.
