Malmo Aviation Selects CSeries for Stockholm Bromma Operations

Swedish regional carrier Malmo Aviation has become the second European customer for the Bombardier CSeries after selecting the modern generation airliner to replace its Avro RJ models on flights from Stockholm’s downtown airport, Bromma. The deal comprises a firm order for five CS100s and five CS300s, with options for ten more and has been agreed with Braathens Leasing, which together with Malmo Aviation is part of the Braathens Aviation Group.

"Bromma, being a city airport, has very strict noise regulations, as well as a short runway," said Knut Solberg, Chief Executive officer, Braathens Aviation. "We have been very focused on noise, emissions, fuel consumption and runway performance in our decision for a new aircraft type. With the CSeries aircraft, we found exactly what we were looking for. The CSeries aircraft promise excellent runway performance, noise levels which are less than half those of any similarly-sized aircraft currently in production, as well as unsurpassed environmental credentials."

Bombardier has now secured 100 firm orders for the CSeries, including 40 CS300s for Republic Airways, 30 CS300s for Swiss International Air Lines and 17 CS300s and three CS100s for Lease Corporation
