Bombardier Delivers CRJ No. 500	April 27, 2001

Dulles International Airport saw more than its usual high level of activity yesterday as Bombardier celebrated the delivery of the 43rd CRJ to Atlantic Coast Airline (ACA), and the 500th CRJ to customers worldwide.

The ceremony involved over 100 employees of ACA, along with representatives from Bombardier and ACA's management teams. Kerry Skeen, Chairman and CEO of ACA said, "The CRJ and our relationship with Bombardier have not only become a major element in our fleet plan, but a foundation of our entire business plan. We believe the continuing partnership will serve both companies extremely well for many years to come."

This May also marks the 10th anniversary of the CRJ's first flight in 1991. Congratulations ACA, Happy Birthday CRJ and a hearty "cheers" to all those who helped make it happen.
