Bombardier Reaches Contract Agreement With Lufthansa for up to 45 CRJ200 Aircraft
APRIL 30, 2001 - 10:00 EDT

TORONTO, ONTARIO--Bombardier Aerospace has reached agreement with
Germany's Lufthansa for the sale of up to 45 CRJ200* regional jet
aircraft.

The contract calls for 15 firm CRJ200 orders and 30 options for
Lufthansa with deliveries of the firm aircraft beginning this
October and running through the spring of 2003.

The 15 aircraft firm order portion of the agreement is valued at
an estimated U.S.$340 million (Cdn.$476 million).

The CRJ* aircraft will be operated by Lufthansa affiliate,
Eurowings. Lufthansa is a 24.9 per cent shareholder in the
Dortmund-based airline.

Eurowings will implement CRJ service early next month with a fleet
of five leased 50-seat CRJs. These aircraft will be taken off
lease as the purchased aircraft come on line.

Eurowings will use the CRJ200 fleet primarily for route expansion,
although the aircraft will replace ATR aircraft on some longer
turboprop routes.

Lufthansa affiliate Lufthansa CityLine was the worldwide launch
customer for Bombardier's CRJ when it inaugurated scheduled
service with the aircraft type in late 1992. The largest CRJ
operator in Europe, Lufthansa CityLine has a total of 65 CRJ
aircraft in service or on order including 45 50-passenger and 20
70-passenger models. In addition, Team Lufthansa affiliate
Augsburg Airways operates a mixed fleet of 37-, 50- and
70-passenger Bombardier Q Series turboprop airliners.

To date, Bombardier has amassed 2,150 commitments for its
industry-leading CRJ family of aircraft comprised of 500 delivered
aircraft, 560 on firm order and 1,090 options....
