MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/09/07 -- Emphasizing its
commitment to the Middle East's booming aviation market, Bombardier
Aerospace will arrive at Dubai Airshow 2007 with a selection of
corporate jets and its Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen regional jet. Also
on display will be Bombardier's new, full-scale mock-up of the next
generation CSeries airliner, which was first revealed in June.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Dubai Airshow has become the
world's third most influential airshow event and expects over 40,000
trade visitors to attend. The show will run from Sunday, November 11
to Thursday, November 15 and the Bombardier exhibit will be located
at the West Hall, Stand W601.

At the Dubai Airshow, Bombardier Business Aircraft will showcase an
impressive range of jets from each of its innovative product
families. The new Bombardier Learjet 60 XR jet will make its
international debut, joining the super-midsize Bombardier Challenger
300, the widebody Bombardier Challenger 605 and high-speed Bombardier
Global 5000 business aircraft on static display.

"This 10th edition of the Dubai Airshow provides us with the
opportunity to reassert our ongoing dedication to business aviation
in the Middle East, as well as our commitment to innovation as we
present our newest product offerings to the international market,"
said Bob Horner, Vice-President, International Sales, Bombardier
Business Aircraft. "With a firm footing in sales and customer
support, we anticipate continued success in the Middle East for many
years to come."

Bombardier Business Aircraft enjoys a strong presence in the Middle
East with its regional sales headquarters and Skyjet International
regional office both based in Dubai. Bombardier's commitment to
Customer Service in the Middle East is also emphasized with a parts
depot at the Dubai airport and a Bombardier 's Authorized Service
Facility (Execujet Mifddle East), servicing Learjet, Challenger and
Global aircraft across the region.

The widebody Challenger 605 jet dominates the large aircraft segment
in the region with 27 aircraft, as at June 30, 2007, representing 50
per cent of the market share for this segment in the region. The
Challenger 300 aircraft continues to build momentum in the region, as
it does the world over, representing 80 per cent of the market share
for this segment in this region, as at June 30, 2007.

Bombardier Regional Aircraft has been making impressive gains in the
Middle East and North Africa, with recent orders for Bombardier
CRJ900 regional jets and Bombardier Q- Series turboprops from several
airlines in the region.

"The overall Middle East regional airline fleet of aircraft is
expected to grow by 150 per cent over the next 20 years, while we see
the overall African fleet growing by 40 per cent in the 20 to 149
seat fleet," said James Dailly, Senior Vice-president, Sales,
Bombardier Regional Aircraft. "We are the only manufacturer that can
offer families of regional jets ranging from 40 to 100 seats and
turboprops ranging from 37 to 90 seats.

"Our aircraft have a proven record of excellent performance and
reliability in the sometimes unforgiving operating environment in
desert regions," added Mr. Dailly. "We believe this record, and our
aircraft families with their high commonality, will be a major factor
as airlines and other operators modernize or expand their fleets."

New CSeries mock-up continues its world tour

Continuing on its world tour, Bombardier will present the latest
full-size, cabin mock-up of the CSeries aircraft at Dubai Airshow
2007. The CSeries aircraft, should it be launched, will be designed
specifically for the lower end of the 100- to 149-seat commercial
market, and will be equipped to operate in challenging conditions,
including the extreme heat of the Middle East.

Featured in the mock-up will be the forward galley with offset door
configuration, two rows in business class, four rows in economy class
and the aft galley with a lavatory area. The new cabin permits
airlines to experience the convenience of overhead rotating bins and
the cross-section fuselage was recently modified to provide
additional passenger comfort.
