Bombardier Aerospace announced today that it will display a Global 6000 jet at this year's Abu Dhabi Air Expo, which will be held at Al Bateen Airport, Abu Dhabi's dedicated business aviation airport, from March 5 to March 7, 2013.

"The Middle East remains hungry for business aviation," said Khader Mattar, Regional Vice President, Sales, Middle East and Africa, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "As the economies continue to grow and the need for global and regional corporate travel increases in the region, the value of a business jet is now well established beyond that of the private individual. It's an exciting time for business aviation and we are keen to play our part in further helping business aviation reach more people."

Global 6000 aircraft: The Global 6000 jet's unrivalled cabin size and level of comfort combined with an optional stand-up shower and the Bombardier Vision Flight Deck means no other purpose-built business jet comes close in terms of high-speed range capability and traveller comfort. Offering the ultimate in technology, this intrepid jet can link Abu Dhabi with London or Singapore, non-stop, with eight passengers and three to four crew*.
