Southwest Airlines: In recent weeks, Bombardier has lost out on key orders, including United Airlines, which has been looking at Bombardier CSeries jet, as did Southwest Airlines, according to The Toronto Star. Both chose Boeing for new orders. Bombardier Class B shares closed at 80 cents, down 7 cents, on Friday, losing more than 40 per cent so far this year. Iran Air placed a 118-aircraft order with Airbus, and also ordered 40 turboprop planes from ATR, an Italian-French joint venture. Iran had been under global sanctions over its nuclear program, but last month the United Nations said Iran had met the terms of a deal, and some countries quickly lifted their sanctions. ATR planes compete with Bombardier Q400, which is assembled in Downsview.
