Bombardier Secures Order For 110 Learjet 60 XR Aircraft

Firm order for 25 aircraft and 85 conditional aircraft

(Montreal, June 20, 2008) -- Bombardier Aerospace today announced a significant business jet sale as an undisclosed European customer placed an order for 110 Learjet 60 XR aircraft, of which 25 are firm and 85 are conditional aircraft orders. The transaction for the firm order is valued at approximately $340 million U.S. and the total value of the contract, if all conditional orders are confirmed, will be approximately $1.5 billion U.S., based on the 2008 list price of a typically equipped aircraft. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2009.

"This is a tremendous announcement for Bombardier," said Steve Ridolfi, president, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "This major sale confirms that the Learjet 60 XR aircraft offers an optimum performance-cabin-value combination that is key for midsize jet operators. With nearly 45 years of history Learjet aircraft are the proven choice for leading flight departments worldwide."
