Bombardier says it has introduced a programme that will reduce operating costs for owners of new Learjet 40, 45 and 45 XR aircraft in the Middle East. With each purchase of one of these three aircraft, Bombardier will assume management costs for one year. Services provided in the package will include aircraft delivery and registration; aircraft operations management; flight operations performance review; maintenance management, and safety, security and quality assurance programmes. To be eligible for the programme, the aircraft must be new, based in the Middle East and managed by ExecuJet.
