This year, Bombardier Aerospace returns to the International Paris Air Show with five of its industry-leading aircraft. At this important aerospace event, Bombardier will showcase its broad spectrum of innovative products, technical expertise, and superior customer support and aircraft maintenance services. It is also an occasion to celebrate Bombardier's 25th year in the aerospace industry.

Featured on static display will be five airplanes from Bombardier's portfolio of business and commercial aircraft, including the midsize Learjet 60 XR aircraft, super midsize Challenger 300 jet, ultra long-range Global 6000 jet, Q400 NextGen turboprop airliner and CRJ1000 NextGen regional jet. As well, guests can enter the next-generation world of air travel in Bombardier's unique CSeries pavilion, where they will experience Bombardier's CSeries aircraft in an interactive environment.

"In the twenty-five years that have passed since Bombardier entered the aerospace industry, we have grown to become the world's third largest civil aircraft manufacturer," said Guy C. Hachey, President and Chief Operating Officer, Bombardier Aerospace. "We reached this position of leadership by paying strict attention to our customers' needs and challenges, and through our ability to think outside of the box. This approach allowed us to invent the first regional jet – the CRJ regional jet, to redefine the business jet market with our exceptional family of Global jets, and develop our all-new CSeries commercial aircraft, which is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the 100- to 149-seat market segment. Our innovative products, which bring significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, fuel consumption and noise footprint, are also paving the way for a more sustainable future for aviation."
