Delta Air Lines adds to Bombardier CRJ fleet	February 2007

Delta Air Lines has placed a firm order for 30 CRJ900 regional jets and taken options on 30 additional CRJ900 aircraft. Contract value of the 30 firm ordered aircraft is approximately $1.1 billion US and could rise to $2.3 billion if all options are exercised.

"The fit with our fleet, timing of delivery and ownership economics made the Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft the best overall solution to our need," said Shawn Anderson, Delta's Vice-president of Delta Connection.

Steven Ridolfi, President of Bombardier Regional aircraft noted that Delta Air Lines and Delta Connection have been CRJ customers since 1989 and currently operate more than 350 CRJ aircraft. "Delta has played a major role in the success of the CRJ program and we are grateful for their continuing confidence in our regional jet products," he said.
