Canada, Europe Grant Same Type Rating For CSeries Airliners
Same Type Rating status for the CS300 and CS100 aircraft should mean significant cost savings for operators, according to Bombardier.


Transport Canada and the European Aviation Safety Agency today granted Bombardier’s CSeries CS100 and CS300 airliners Same Type Rating (STR) status. According to the manufacturer, the approval will give operators significant opportunities to save costs and reflects the 99 percent parts commonality that the two aircraft share. Bombardier designed the two versions of the CSeries in tandem, with only the center section being longer for the larger CS300 model.
