Bombardier Increases Commercial Aircraft Sales and Marketing Support to the Middle East and Africa
“Aviation is a major industry in the region and although the spotlight to date has been on the long-range and widebody fleets, there remains a tremendous potential for growth in intra-regional and domestic services throughout Africa and the Middle East,” said Philippe Poutissou, Vice President, Marketing, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft.
“Our Q-Series and CRJ aircraft fleets in the region already serve a wide range of air transport needs including resource industry charters, short- and medium-haul hub feed and point-to-point airline service,” added Mr. Poutissou. “Including aircraft on firm order, the fleet in the region includes more than 180 Dash-8/Q-Series and CRJ aircraft. As the airlines in the region continue to grow, we anticipate that they will also seek efficient single-aisle, mainline aircraft such as Bombardier‘’s CSeries family of airliners to expand their networks.”
The Middle East continues to offer the potential to play a key role in the transformation of the aviation industry. Bombardier‘’s 2011-2030 market forecast predicts that while starting from a small base, the Middle East and Africa will capture seven per cent, or 980 of the 13,100 worldwide deliveries expected in the 20- to 149-seat market segment.
Each of Bombardier Commercial Aircraft‘’s distinct families is optimized for its respective markets. The 68- to 80-seat Q400 NextGen aircraft is the optimized turboprop solution for short- and medium-range markets. The 70- to 100-seat CRJ NextGen aircraft are the optimized regional jetliner solution. And the all-new, game-changing CSeries aircraft are the optimized single-aisle, mainline solution for the 100- to 149-seat market.
