Amman-based Petra has signed an LOI for four CSeries airliners consisting of two firm CS100s and two CS300 options, the Canadian manufacurer said. The commitment is valued at around $298 million at list prices.

“CSeries jetliners have built-in operational flexibility which will allow us to tailor them to meet our specific needs,” said Riad Khashman, Petra’s CEO. “They’re quiet, they have an unmatched environmental footprint and their widebody comfort will be appealing to customers.”

Petra currently operates a single Airbus A320.
Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi-based Falcon Aviation Services, has converted its LOI announced at the Dubai Airshow - to a firm $154 million order for two CS300s. It previously had an LOI for one firm CS300 and one CSeries option.
