bombardier targets a 99% dispatch reliability at entry into service. in august 2016, swiss reported "much higher" reliability than other new aircraft, citing airbus' a380, a320neo and boeing's 787. after four months of service with swiss, this goal seems to have been met based on only three aircraft and 1,500 hours flown; "nuisance messages" from the integrated avionics suite and the pw1000g start-up delays have been the main griefs. dispatch reliability rates of 99% were met in april 2017. a year after introduction, launch operators had fewer issues than expected for a new program. air baltic have 99.3%-99.4% dispatch reliability, similar to the established q400 but less than the 99.8% boeing 737 classic benefiting from its ubiquitous presence. it improved to 99.85% in october 2017.
