CRJ1000 first flight slips to "later this year"
First flight of the CRJ1000, the final member of Bombardier's regional jet family, has slipped to "later this year," the airframer tells Flight. Bombardier did not specify a cause of the delay or if there was any impact on the late 2009 entry into service for the 100-seat aircraft.
At the Farnborough air show in July, Bombardier was quoted as saying the flight flight of C-FRJX, the first CRJ1000, would occur "very soon." Bombardier had previously maintained that the first flight would take place by the end of this summer.
The aircraft, the longest member of the CRJ family, is a 128-foot 4.7-inch stretch of the original 50-seat CRJ200 aircraft. Bombardier currently offers standard, extended range, and EuroLite variants of the CRJ1000 with ranges of 1,488 nm, 1,688 nm, and 1,030 nm respectively. To date, the CRJ1000 has earned 39 firm orders from four customers - Adria Airways, Air France subsidiary Brit Air, Italian Operator Myair and an undisclosed operator.
