Bombardier hopes to compete in the small-body jet arena with aerospace giants Boeing and Airbus when its jets take flight commercially in 2014. Bombardier is one of the biggest manufacturers of business jets with brands such as Challenger, Global and Learjet.
The firm has said its C-series jets use 20% less fuel than Boeing's 737 or Airbus's A320, and that they cost around 15% less to operate.
The market for narrow-bodied jets is expected to grow to $20 trillion (£12.8tn) over the next 20 years.
