Bombardier Demonstrates Commitment to Customer Support for CSeries Aircraft Operators Ahead of Entry-into-Service

Farnborough Airshow - Bombardier Aerospace today announced the launch of its
Smart Parts program and the recent approval of its maintenance program for
CSeries aircraft operators. These proactive solutions are both designed to
minimize downtime and provide more competitive maintenance costs to operators of
CSeries aircraft, all while ensuring the inherent safety and reliability of the
aircraft. 


Transport Canada, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) recently approved the CSeries aircraft maintenance
program's Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR). In development since October
2010, the approved plan will now allow operators of CSeries aircraft to benefit
from line maintenance checks ("A" Checks) at intervals of 850 flight hours and
base maintenance checks ("C" Checks) at intervals of 8,500 flight hours,
demonstrating Bombardier's continued dedication to providing operators with the
most competitive maintenance program in the industry. 


"Bombardier has been extremely proactive in driving the optimization of its
maintenance program for CSeries aircraft customers prior to entry-into-service,"
said Todd Young, Vice President, Customer Services and Support, Bombardier
Commercial Aircraft. "With this approved maintenance program, we demonstrate our
ongoing interest in the success of our customers' operation and the aircraft
that we manufacture."


The Smart Parts program for CSeries aircraft customers is available to support
Bombardier's operators flying aircraft at all life stages and can be customized
to meet unique operational requirements. This tailored support solution provides
value through normalized cash flows and component availability. The program
covers more than 400 components in more than 20 major systems and includes two
primary elements developed in response to feedback from customers - a component
repair management solution and a component exchange pool program at a central
location.  


"We continue to invest in innovative solutions to offer the most competitive
operating cost, while maximizing value and uptime," said Gary Martin, Vice
President, Sales, Marketing and Service Programs, Customer Services, Bombardier
Aerospace. "Designed with the needs of our customers in mind, the Smart Parts
program for CSeries aircraft allows airlines to focus on their core business of
flying, all while providing optimal use of their aircraft." 


The Smart Parts program for CSeries aircraft builds on both Bombardier's Smart
Parts programs for business aircraft and its Smart Parts program for Q400
aircraft. Bombardier's Business Aircraft's Smart Parts program celebrated its
25th anniversary in 2011 and has over 1,200 aircraft currently enrolled in all
of Bombardier's Smart Services programs combined, accounting for over five
million flight hours to date. The Smart Parts program for Q400 aircraft was
launched in 2008 and has grown to support aircraft customers around the world.
