First Bombardier Challenger 890 Corporate Shuttle Enters Service

(Montreal, February 27, 2008) -- Bombardier announced today that the first Challenger 890 corporate shuttle has entered service with Calgary based Suncor Energy Inc., a major North American developer of oil sands. The aircraft will join Suncor's Challenger 850 corporate shuttle, in operation since March 2006.

A rapidly growing company based in Alberta with more than 6,500 employees, Suncor Energy currently operates a shuttle service for its personnel between their Calgary headquarters and Fort McMurray, Alberta. The addition of the new Challenger 890 aircraft is a reflection of the company's significant growth. The new jet will shuttle workers from across Canada to the Fort McMurray oil sands.

"With the most comprehensive family of aircraft in the industry, Bombardier can offer customers the right solutions for a vast array of business needs, and the corporate shuttle was designed with companies like Suncor in mind," said Bob Horner, vice-president, sales Bombardier Business Aircraft. "With their proven track record of superior dispatch reliability and performance, Challenger corporate shuttle aircraft are an economical and flexible way to transport employees to remote locations and keep businesses running smoothly."
