Bombardier at the Abu Dhabi Air Expo.

Thursday 26th January 2012

Bombardier has confirmed its participation in the First General Aviation Exhibition for the Middle East, The Abu Dhabi Air Expo, and will showcase its Challenger 605 business jet at the show.

Featuring the widest stand-up cabin of any large category business jet available today, the Challenger 605 jet builds on the legacy of quality and reliability of its predecessor, the Challenger 604. The Challenger 605 can whisk eight passengers and two crew from Abu Dhabi to Tokyo or Abu Dhabi to London non-stop.

"We are very pleased to welcome as an exhibitor one of the major players in business aviation," said Didier Mary, Exhibition Director. "This participation makes the Abu Dhabi Air Expo even more interesting, considering the strong number of Bombardier aircraft in the Middle East, and the type's familiarity at Al Bateen," he added.
