The jets will be delivered to ASA in the summer of 2003. The order, valued at approximately $68.7 million U.S. ($104.5 million Cdn.), represents the conversion of three existing options from Delta Connection's industry-leading order for Bombardier CRJ200 and CRJ700* aircraft to be delivered to carriers ASA and Comair through 2004, with options extending into 2010. The transaction brings to 237 the number of firm-ordered Bombardier CRJ100* and CRJ200 aircraft by ASA and Comair, of which 191 have been delivered and 46 remain on backlog. Three 70-seat Bombardier CRJ700 aircraft have been delivered to ASA, with 54 remaining on firm order for ASA and Comair. Delta Connection holds options for an additional 389 Bombardier CRJ200 and CRJ700 aircraft. Together, ASA and Comair operate more Bombardier regional jets than any airline family in the world. Comair pioneered the regional jet revolution in North America in 1993, when it launched regional jet service in the United States. The entire Delta Connection fleet today - ASA, Comair and SkyWest Airlines - has more than 220 Bombardier CRJ Series regional jets under Delta direction.
