Bombardier in talks with North American airlines on CSeries jet orders

TORONTO/PARIS (Reuters) – Canada’s Bombardier Inc (BBDb.TO) said on Friday it is in advanced discussions to sell its new CSeries jet to airlines in North America, without identifying the prospective buyers. Montreal-based Bombardier has redoubled efforts to win a landmark order for the CSeries after failing to sell the program to rival Airbus (AIR.PA), and is pitching the jets hard to airlines in North America, said two sources familiar with the matter. The sources said Bombardier was pitching Southwest Airlines Co (LUV.N) and American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O), as well as similar airlines.
