Bombardier has removed Republic Airways' order for the C-Series from its official production schedule, citing ongoing bankruptcy filings by Republic Airways Holdings. Republic Airways signed an agreement in February 2010 placing 40 CS300 aircraft on firm order, and another 40 on option. The aircraft will still remain on Bombardier's official order book, pending the outcome of bankruptcy proceedings, but will no longer appear on the delivery schedule.
