"Bombardier also hopes to announce an order at the air show from an airline in China, where the company hasn't sold a commercial plane since 2003. Analysts say one potential customer there is Jian-based Shandong Airlines, which already operates some smaller Bombardier jets.

"Bombardier is wooing China business, building the fuselage of the CSeries in Shenyang and recently giving Chinese President Hu Jintao a tour of Bombardier's Toronto plant. It hopes eventually to sell 630 planes, or 20% of its estimated total production, to Chinese companies.

They are lightweight and durable, thereby contributing to reduced fuel burn and reducing environmental impact. Burning less fuel means lower costs and fewer emissions.")
