Company now located at Farnborough and Dubai International Airports
Bombardier announced today it has completed the relocation of two of its strategic business jet operations to London Farnborough Airport. Bombardier regional sales headquarters for Europe, and Skyjet International headquarters began operations within TAG Aviation’s new Farnborough facilities in mid-March 2006.
In addition, the company has also moved its Middle East and African sales operation and Skyjet International Middle East office to Dubai International Airport. It is located within ExecuJet’s new facility, which also houses a Bombardier authorized service facility and parts depot.
“London Farnborough Airport is quickly becoming the focal point for business aircraft activity in the United Kingdom and is now one of the most modern airports dedicated to business aviation in Europe,” said Bob Horner, vice-president, sales, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “In addition, we are ideally situated in Dubai, right in the business aviation centre, and look forward to establishing new roots at such an impressive facility.”
With its innovative products, turnkey solutions and significant investments in world-class customer service and support, Bombardier is at the forefront of developing business aviation across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Bombardier delivered an impressive 186 business jets in its fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, compared to 128 for the same period one year earlier, an increase of 45 per cent. Bombardier delivered 102 business jets in Europe from 2001 to 2005 on a calendar year basis, representing a 20 per cent share of the market.
London-based Skyjet International offers premier business jet charter programs with unprecedented worldwide access to a fleet of over 900 business jets.
