Despite initial difficulties in finding the right engine for the CSeries, the choice finally fell on the new GTF engine from Pratt & Whitney in late 2007.
CSeries program was launched at the 2008 Farnborough Airshow with the C110 and C130 variants, which were redesignated CS100 and CS300 in 2009.
AirAsia was a potential customer for the high-density CS300 proposed at the 2012 Farnborough Airshow.
The CS100 took off for its maiden flight from Mirabel Airport in Quebec on 16 September 2013.
Swiss International Air Lines was the launch operator for the CSeries with the first CS100 in July 2016.
Following steep approach certification, Swiss operated its first revenue flight to London City Airport on 8 August 2017.
