Bombardier Aerospace yesterday announced the establishment of a Bombardier Commercial Aircraft regional sales and marketing office in Dubai to serve the Middle East and Africa. The facility is located in the Dubai Free Zone near Dubai International Airport.

"This new sales and marketing office will further extend our global presence and provide closer proximity to current customers and prospects in the Middle East and Africa," Raphael Haddad, Senior Director, Sales, Middle East and North Africa, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, said in a press release.

"We will be able to provide an almost instant response to any requests for information on our Q-Series, CRJ and CSeries aircraft families." "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.

The company said 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. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
