SWISS-TRANSPORT

ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - Canadian plane and train maker Bombardier Inc said on Sunday it had booked an order for four of its Challenger 650 business jets from Zetta Jet, a charter operator based in Singapore, valued at $129 million at list prices.

Zetta Jet plans to operate the planes, which have a range of 4,000 nautical miles, between Los Angeles and Southeast Asia, the companies said at the National Business Aviation Association air show. China's Minsheng Financial Leasing Co Ltd, a unit of China Minsheng Bank <600016.SS>, is financing the purchase, which comes amid a prolonged slowdown in business jet orders.
