Bombardier secures year-end bizjet orders

Bombardier Aerospace officials announced Dec. 31, 2013, that the company received a firm order for 38 Bombardier business aircraft, including 28 Global business jets and 10 Challenger 605 business jets, from an undisclosed customer. The transaction is valued at approximately $2.2 billion US, based on 2013 list prices for typically equipped aircraft.

 

Bombardier’s Global jets are designed to feature superior speed, cabin volume, range, and technology to offer passengers the ultimate business jet experience. The Global aircraft family covers the large, ultra long-range category with four aircraft models and addresses the increasing needs of business jet travelers and operators to rapidly link key international city pairs non-stop.

 

The Challenger 605 wide body business jet is designed to set new standards for all-around performance and builds on the quality and reliability of its predecessor, the Challenger 604 jet. The Challenger 605 jet is an intercontinental jet that can whisk 12 passengers and three crew from New York City to London non-stop under certain operating conditions.

 

One day earlier, Bombardier Aerospace officials announced receipt of a firm order for 10 Challenger 350 business jets from an undisclosed customer. The transaction is valued at approximately $259 million US, based on the 2013 list price for typically equipped aircraft.
