Bombardier’s CS100 Aircraft Awarded EASA and FAA Type Validation

Bombardier’s CS100 aircraft has been awarded Type Validation by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following a comprehensive testing program.

The EASA and FAA validations follow the CS100 aircraft Type Certification awarded by Transport Canada in December 2015.

EASA’s validation paves the way for the delivery of the first CS100 aircraft to launch customer Swiss International Air Lines at the end of June and the aircraft’s entry-into-service in July 2016.

Robert Dewar, Vice President, C Series Program, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, said, “As we move quickly towards the delivery of the first CS100 aircraft to SWISS, we are gratified that several aviation leaders are confirming what we have been saying all along - the C Series aircraft will open up new opportunities for operators, while delivering unrivalled economic advantages, performance, and environmental credentials.”
