[Георги Николов]

At Bombardier Aerospace, revenues increased by 17% to a record $9.7 billion, while EBIT rose to $563 million, compared to $322 million for last fiscal year. This produced an EBIT margin of 5.8%, versus last year's 3.9%. Free cash flow more than doubled to $1.7 billion, compared to last year's $814 million.
Bombardier Aerospace's backlog reached a new record level of $22.7 billion, an increase of $9.5 billion compared to January 31, 2007. It was an excellent year with 698 firm orders for business, regional and amphibious aircraft, compared to 363 aircraft last fiscal year. Deliveries also increased to 361 aircraft, versus 326 for the corresponding period last year. For fiscal year 2009, the group expects an increase in business aircraft deliveries along with an improved mix, while regional aircraft deliveries are expected to remain at a similar level compared to fiscal year 2008.
In the business aircraft market, Bombardier Aerospace maintained its leadership with a record 232 deliveries as well as 452 orders, for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.9. Interest for business jets in major emerging markets, such as Russia and Asia, has grown significantly, shifting demand away from the U.S. which now accounts for approximately 30% of the group's new orders.
With the entry into service of the Learjet 60 XR and the launch of the all-new Learjet 85 featuring an all-composite structure, Bombardier Aerospace further strengthened its product portfolio, the most complete in the business aircraft industry.
Regional aircraft orders surged to 238 orders compared to 87 last fiscal year. The introduction of the next generation of the CRJ700 and CRJ900 aircraft as well as the launch of the CRJ1000 NextGen regional jet have stimulated demand and contributed to 141 regional jet orders for fiscal year 2008, compared to 49 last fiscal year.
Increasing interest for the Q400 aircraft has generated demand from companies in various countries such as Australia-based Qantas Airways, U.K.'s Flybe and Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines. As the trend towards larger turboprops continues, Bombardier Aerospace announced, in March 2008, the launch of the Q400 NextGen turboprop airliner, pursuing its tradition of innovation.
Bombardier Aerospace continues to work towards reaching an EBIT margin of 8%, now expected by fiscal 2009.

Seattle, Washington, April 22, 2008
Bombardier’s popular Q400 turboprop is emerging as a top performer when it comes to reducing the environmental impact of aircraft.
Representatives from Bombardier Commercial Aircraft and Horizon Air chose today, Earth Day, to reiterate the 78-seat Q400 aircraft produces 30 percent less emissions, can be more fuel efficient than an average car (when calculated on a per passenger basis) and, both inside and out, is one of the quietest aircraft in the world.
Recent sales growth of the Q400 aircraft point to the aircraft’s popularity among airlines seeking not only to reduce environmental impact buttorealize economic benefits, particularly around fuel efficiency.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, Bombardier Aerospace took orders for 80 Q400 airliners compared to 24 orders in the previous year. Sales of turboprops in general have risen along the same upward curve of jet fuel prices since earlier this decade.

Horizon Air
Horizon Air, which has purchased 33 Q400 aircraft with another 15 on order and 20 options, is one of several carriers around the world to promote the reduced environmental footprint of its fleet. The Seattle-based airline goes even further by touting the convenience and low-stress benefits of air travel versus automobile travel between Seattle and Portland, its most heavily traveled route.
“The Q400 turboprop not only saves us money, but allows us to reduce our carbon footprint while shuttling customers between Seattle and Portland, and on other routes quickly and comfortably,” said Dan Russo, Director Marketing and Communications, Horizon Air.
“In terms of economics, environment and profitability, our Q400 aircraft sales are increasing dramatically as the industry moves forward on the path of sustainability,” said Rod Williams, Vice-President, Commercial Operations, Bombardier Regional Aircraft.

Noise Levels
Bombardier’s engineers have focused their efforts on both the internal and external environment. The Q400 aircraft features a revolutionary Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system that reduces the vibrations in the fuselage, stopping much of the noise and vibration from entering the cabin.
The low noise levels should be no surprise; after all, the “Q” in the Q400 stands for quiet.
As one of the quietest commercial aircraft in existence, the Q400 aircraft is able to operate in noise-sensitive areas such as the island airport in Toronto and London’s city airport.

Emissions
The Q400 aircraft exceeds not only current environment standards but also anticipated ones, with respect to carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbon, nitrous oxide and smoke emissions. All are well below the levels mandated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
For example, on a 500-nm or 575.4-mile trip, the Q400 aircraft emits 30 percent fewer emissions and rates among the lowest CO2 emitting aircraft on a per seat basis. Looked at another way, each Q400 aircraft produces 3,000 fewer tons of CO2 every year.

Q400 NextGen Aircraft
The new Q400 NextGen turboprop airliner is the next step in the continuing evolution of the Q400 aircraft. Revised in the same spirit as the CRJ NextGen aircraft family, the Q400 NextGen aircraft remains one of the most technologically advanced turboprop aircraft. As with the CRJ NextGen aircraft family, the overall cabin environment of the Q400 NextGen aircraft will be enhanced with the introduction of LED lighting, new ceiling panels, dished window sidewalls and larger overhead bins. Combining these features with the Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system will give the Q400 NextGen passenger an even more pleasant cabin experience.

Bombardier Aerospace Releases Annual Aircraft Market Forecasts

Belfast, Northern Ireland, May 07, 2008

10-year baseline Business Aircraft Market Forecast predicts 13,200 deliveries from 2008 to 2017, representing market-wide revenues of $300 billion US 20-year Commercial Aircraft Market Forecast from 2008 to 2027 calls for 12,900 new deliveries in 20- to 149-seat market, worth $528 billion USToday, Bombardier Aerospace released its annual aircraft market forecasts for the business and commercial aircraft markets.
“As we transition to a more international customer base that features less emphasis on the U.S., as well as a structural shift towards larger and more cost-effective aircraft, Bombardier’s key product families – business jets and regional aircraft – are expected to continue to generate strong interest across all markets,” said Mairead Lavery, Vice-President, Strategy and Business Development, Bombardier Aerospace. “With its comprehensive portfolio of business and commercial aircraft that encompass state-of-the-art technologies and innovative design solutions, and its focus on customer services, Bombardier is well positioned for the future.”
Business Aircraft Market Forecast
In the 10-year period from 2008 to 2017, Bombardier’s Business Aircraft Market Forecast predicts that business aircraft manufacturers will deliver a total of 1,320 business jets annually in all segments it competes (from light to corporate airliner segments), a substantial increase from the industry average of over 620 business jet deliveries annually during the 1998 to 2007 period.
The total forecasted 13,200 deliveries over the 10-year period represent revenues of approximately $300 billion US* for the industry.
Despite strong concerns over a possible downturn in the U.S. and world economies that could create a decrease in overall orders over the next two years, Bombardier believes industry deliveries should keep increasing until 2017. In addition, based on the important surge in orders over the last few years and manufacturers’ solid backlogs, the business aircraft industry is expected to maintain its positive trend in deliveries. The sustained vigor of the European jet market has propelled Bombardier to revise its forecast upward from 2007 levels. Bombardier’s 10-year industry delivery forecast increased from 9,950 in 2007 to 13,200 deliveries in 2008.
Bombardier’s forecast also indicates that primary market drivers continue to be mostly positive. These include manufacturers’ current average order backlog that is equivalent to an estimated 29 months of production; a healthy market for pre-owned aircraft; the number of new aircraft programs scheduled to enter service over the next two years; and stable fractional ownership demand. With growing demand for business jets within its international base of customers – representing 67 per cent of orders for 2007 – Bombardier should be well positioned to weather a possible recession in the U.S.
Commercial Aircraft Market Forecast
According to Bombardier’s Commercial Aircraft Market Forecast, demand for 20- to 149-seat commercial aircraft is expected to reach approximately 12,900 new aircraft in the 20-year period from 2008 to 2027, an increase in demand from last year’s forecast. Forecasted demand is valued at approximately $528 billion US*.
The trend towards larger aircraft, coupled with sustained higher fuel prices will reinforce operators’ requirement for modern aircraft with low operating costs.
The forecast reflects the shift in demand to larger commercial aircraft:
In the 20- to 59-seat aircraft segment: the forecast expects a demand of approximately 500 aircraft;
In the 60- to 99-seat aircraft segment: demand is expected to reach approximately 6,100 aircraft;
In the 100- to 149-seat aircraft segment: the forecast predicts a demand for approximately 6,300 aircraft.
One in every three commercial flights worldwide are on regional aircraft and Bombardier’s latest generation of products – its cost-efficient CRJ700/CRJ900/CRJ1000 NextGen regional jets and Q400 turboprop – have become the backbone of many of the world’s airlines. In a period of soaring fuel prices and growing environmental concerns, the popular Q400 is proving to be the most economical and environmentally efficient regional aircraft solution on short distance routes. On longer distance routes, the CRJ700, CRJ900 and CRJ1000 NextGen regional jets burn less fuel, produce fewer harmful emissions and provide better economics than comparable regional jet aircraft.
To address the 100- to149-seat segment, Bombardier has spent the last two years refining its CSeries design incorporating the latest technology necessary to produce a game-changing family of aircraft. This new family of aircraft will offer unmatched economics, performance, reduction of environmental footprint and passenger comfort to mainline carriers. In February 2008, the Bombardier Board of Directors granted Bombardier Aerospace the authority to offer formal sales proposals of the optimized CSeries aircraft family to airline customers. A launch decision is expected in 2008 for entry into service in 2013.
