Lufthansa says CSeries' future more sustainable after Airbus deal

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The future of Bombardier’s CSeries programme is more secure after Airbus took a majority stake, customer Lufthansa said on Tuesday.

"It’s a great aircraft, a great programme and it deserves a sustainable future. After last night’s decision, that future is much more sustainable and that’s good for aviation, the environment, surely good for Bombardier and Airbus and the Lufthansa Group," Lufthansa Chief Executive Carsten Spohr said on Tuesday at an event hosted by aviation group A4E.
