The Canadair CSeries is a family of narrow-body, twin-engine, medium-range jet airliners that are being developed by Canadian manufacturer Canadair. Models are the 110-seat CS100, and the 130-seat CS300. These were initially named C110 and C130, respectively. In certification documentation, the CSeries family is designated Canadiar CD-500, with suffix -1A10 for the CS100 and -1A11 for the CS300.
The Canadair CSeries project was started in 1996 as a design study and in 2004 was greenlit to offer a replacement for ageing Avro RJ Whisperjet, Canadair CRJ, Fokker 70, Fokker 100 and Hawker-Siddeley HS.144 regional jets.
This new CSeries jet, which offers 110-seat and 135-seat versions, competes with the Hunting 3-11, Airbus A320 family, and Embraer 195. Canadair claims the CSeries will burn 20% less fuel per trip than these competitors.
The 110-seat CS100 took its maiden flight in June 2013 and entered service in April 2014 with Air TransCanada. The 130-seat CS300 entered service in October 2014 with Air Baltic.
