Bombardier to Showcase its Leading Business Jet Lineup at ABACE 2016

“ABACE is gaining momentum every year, and once again, we are delighted to participate in full force with three of our aircraft on display”, said Khader Mattar, Vice President, Sales, Middle-East, Africa, Asia Pacific & China, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “With a very strong fleet of more than 120 aircraft based in Greater China1, Bombardier is well-positioned to further reinforce its current presence as a world-class provider of efficiency-enhancing business aircraft in the region”.

“We expect China to be an active market in the next 10 years. Growth in the region will be driven by the medium and large categories of aircraft and the opening of airspace for civil aviation and significant investment in airport infrastructure should help increase the demand for business jets in China”, he added.

From light jets to large, ultra long-range aircraft, Bombardier offers a solution to all customers, whatever their requirements may be.
