Bombardier launches high density CS300 with Air Baltic as the first customer

Bombardier now officially has a launch customer for CS300 Extra Crowded:
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/art...baltic-383179/
Air Baltic, 148 seats out of the 160 seat maximum.

This is not only relevant to Air Baltic (Other European Airlines) passengers because
1) there are other, unnamed airlines who may share the interest in CS300 Extra Crowded, with up to 160 seats
and 2) Bombardier also offers Extra Crowded doors as retrofits to CS300 frames originally delivered with space for 145 or fewer cattle.

They are going to have some stiff competition from the Boeing 747 Max and Airbus NEO.

Actually, only 737MAX or A320NEO. There is no 747MAX. There is no such thing about 747MAX.

CS100Base can take off in 1219 m at MTOW, SL, ISA. Can A320NEO match that?

Yes, this will increased more range. This will have enough more capabilities, and more fuel efficient.

One of them got a name:
http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-ne...-iraqi-airways

Iraqi Airways.
Not only is it a new record, with 152 seats total. But whereas Air Baltics 148 are presumably equally tourist class with no real business seats, as is the wont of Europaean airlines, Iraqi Airways finds space for 12 first class seats... somewhere.

What is the pitch left for the 140 cattle seats?

A plane like this deserves a list twice as long.
