Not sure if this has been posted yet but Bombardier are developing a new plane (cud be jet and or prop) for the 100 seat market and will only go into production if it reduces costs by 15% to airlines.
The new aircraft could very possibly be made at the Belfast City Airport plant due to government grants. This would also be a kick in the teeth for Bombardier who just sold their new airport and will now have to pay landing fees for new aircraft if it comes here!
Would also provide a boost for spotters here to see numberous liveries and a new jet.
I can arrange tours for people who want a trip around if it does happen 🙂 Only I can :D:D
