MONTREAL, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Bombardier Inc. (Toronto:BBDb.TO - News) said on Tuesday it won a $637 million order from Mesa Air Group Inc. (NasdaqNM:MESA - News) for 20 of its regional jets.
The order represents half of Phoenix, Arizona-based Mesa's option to buy 40 aircraft from Montreal-based Bombardier. Bombardier said the order is for a mix of its 70-seat CRJ700 and 90-seat CRJ900 series, which has yet to be spelled out.
Rapidly expanding Mesa will use the new planes for contractual commitments with United Airlines and America West Airlines. The company reported a first-quarter profit on Tuesday on stronger passenger count and revenues.
Bombardier's class B shares were up 10 Canadian cents at C$5.79 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (News - Websites) on Tuesday.
