Bombardier Brings Seven Bombardier Business Aircraft has brought seven business aircraft to NBAA 2007, including the new Learjet 60XR for the first time anywhere. The seven jets from the Learjet-ChallengerGlobal line-up comprise the largest product offering of anyone at the show, the Canadian manufacturer says. The seven Bombardier aircraft on display at Fulton County Airport are: • The Learjet 40XR, a $9 million, six-toseven-passenger light jet delivering impressive time-to-climb performance under all conditions, particularly in hot and high-operating environments, and able to fly Atlanta-Salt Lake City nonstop. • The Learjet 45XR, an $11.5 million, eightto-nine-passenger jet that “flies faster, farther, with more passengers than any other super light business jet”—Atlanta-Calgary nonstop. • The Learjet 60XR, in service since July, a $13.3 million airplane “poised to set new standards in performance, comfort, value and versatility in the worldwide midsize jet market.” It’s certified to 51,000 ft, has high cruise speed of Mach 0.81,and can fly Atlanta-Los Angeles nonstop. • The Challenger 300, priced at $20 million, and the only business jet to feature Lufthansa Technik’s top-of-the-line NICE cabin management system. The super-midsize 300 can fly Atlanta-Juneau non-stop with a full payload. More than 135 aircraft are in service, with a dispatch reliability of better than 99.5% as of May 2007. • The Challenger 605, $27.4 million, in service since January 2007, with “the widest stand-up cabin of any large category business jet available today.” The 605 “can whisk five passengers from Atlanta-Dublin nonstop,” Bombardier says, noting that the Bombardier Enhanced Vision System (BEVS) is an option for the aircraft’s Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit. • The Global 5000, a $37.7 million jet, said to combine superior transatlantic speed with the largest cabin in the super large segment. The 5000 features state-of-the-art high-speed Internet connectivity and unmatched entertainment options as standard equipment as well as a headsup flight display system with the largest field-of-view of any business aircraft. It can connect Atlanta-Honolulu nonstop with eight passengers and three crew. • The Global Express XRS, a $49 million jet boasting “the largest cabin of any purpose-built corporate aircraft.” The Bombardier flagship can link Atlanta-Moscow non-stop with eight passengers and three-to-four crew. Bombardier Business Aircraft is at Booth 6418. Bombardier Emphasizes Service Improvements Bombardier is highlighting service initiatives at Booth 6418 in the convention center. Parts Express, for example, launched earlier this year, leverages the Flexjet fractional fleet for AOG parts deliveries in the U.S. Bombardier is also talking up the addition of five new authorized service and line maintenance facilities in the past five months, new customer response centers in Montreal and Wichita, and a new parts depot in Sao Paulo, Brazil. “Investment and improvement in our customer services programs is ongoing,” said Bombardier customer experience svp James Hoblyn. “We are listening to our customers, and their feedback regarding our initiatives over the past two years is increasingly positive. We are ahead of schedule regarding our 2007 objectives and we will continue to build upon our recent successes.” Bombardier’s James Hoblyn.
