GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 2004--
New service offers fastest transatlantic speed since Concorde;
increased airfield access
Bombardier Aerospace (TSX:BBD.A) (TSX:BBD.B) today launched the
Bombardier Transatlantic Express(i), the world's first fixed-price
business jet charter service between Western Europe and North America.
The new service - which utilizes the high-speed, ultra long-range
Bombardier Global Express business jet - will establish a new speed
standard by connecting North America and Europe faster than any other
civil aircraft since the Concorde.
The Bombardier Transatlantic Express offers return trips between
any city in Western Europe and the U.S. Eastern coast for a fixed
price. The service is scheduled to begin operations in summer 2004
and will be operated through Bombardier Flexjet Europe, headquartered
in London, U.K.
'Following the Concorde's retirement last year, we received an
overwhelming demand to develop a superior solution to cross the
Atlantic faster than today's scheduled services,' said Judith
Moreton, managing director, Bombardier Flexjet Europe. 'Our solution
is the Bombardier Transatlantic Express which offers executive
flights at a fixed cost, superior speed and unmatched flexibility.
'Our solution is ideal because, unlike other transatlantic
business jet travel programs where customers must purchase an
aircraft share, this service is offered 'by the flight' and is
available to anyone. This is a straightforward, simple program.'
Superior speed, superior access
Designed to fly at speeds up to Mach 0.89 (520 mph; 950 km/h),
the Bombardier Global Express can transport passengers from New York
to virtually any European city, or from London to most major cities
in the eastern and central United States faster than any large
business jet. Its flying time is approximately 36 minutes faster than
its closest competitor, the Falcon 900EX and approximately 44 minutes
faster than the Gulfstream G550.
In addition, unlike scheduled business jet services currently
offered by some airlines, the Bombardier Global Express business jet
also provides access to a significantly larger number of airfields,
so passengers arrive and depart closer to their final destinations.
The Bombardier Transatlantic Express service, for example has access
to six airports in the London area, three in Paris, and six in
greater New York.
The ultimate service
In addition to superior value, speed and flexibility, Bombardier
Transatlantic Express service customers will enjoy enhanced service
including:
- Complimentary limousine service/executive transport provided
both to and from the airport of choice in Europe and the U.S.;
- VIP check-in, including fast track through personal security
and passport control, provided at a choice of over 500 airports
across Europe;
- Luxurious cabin environment with seating for up to 10
passengers and VIP in-flight, personalized service:
- Freshly prepared three-course meal at their convenience, and
snack service throughout the flight;
- Full beverage service including champagne and fine wines;
- Personal DVD players and interactive skymap routing; and
- In-seat power points for computer laptop and optional satellite
phone service.
