MONTREAL, Sept. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier Commercial

Aircraft announced today that the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) has granted
approval for the maintenance intervals escalation of the CRJ700, CRJ900 and
CRJ1000 aircraft. The line maintenance interval (A-check) is extended to 800
flight hours, and the heavy maintenance interval (C-check) at 8,000 flight
hours.

“With the longest maintenance intervals on the regional jet market, the CRJ
aircraft family continues to deliver more value to operators, along with its
excellent reliability and its proven outstanding operational capability”, said
Charles Comtois, Head of CRJ Series Program, Bombardier Commercial
Aircraft. “We are thrilled that our operators are benefiting from our continuous
improvement mindset as with this evolution, the CRJ Series operators can now
take advantage of 14 per cent less maintenance days, meaning more days of
revenue flying.”

The maintenance intervals have doubled since the launch of the CRJ aircraft
family. The new maintenance intervals are applicable for new production
deliveries as well as all CRJ700, CRJ900, and CRJ1000 aircraft in service.
