Bombardier Commercial Aircraft also confirmed its attendance at the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) Airline Leaders Forum in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 15-17 November, 2015.

Among the airlines that have joined Bombardier’s growing family of CRJ Series aircraft operators is Rosario, Argentina-based Sol Líneas Aéreas, which started service with a CRJ200 regional jet in October 2015. Bombardier is also pleased to welcome and congratulate Star Perú of Lima, Peru; Boliviana de Aviación, Bolivia’s flag carrier; Amaszonas Paraguay, of Asunción, Paraguay; and BQB Líneas Aéreas of Montevideo, Uruguay, as it works closely with the airlines to support the launch of their respective operations with CRJ200 aircraft. 

“Latin America continues to be a region of tremendous opportunity and growth for Bombardier and its customers – recognizing our respective commercial aircraft presence in the market is key to our mutual expansion strategy,” said Alex Glock, Vice President, Sales, Latin America and the Caribbean, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. “We are pleased to showcase these important customers in the region and we wish them much success and look forward to meeting many at the ALTA conference this week.

“The CRJ Series regional jets, Q400 turboprops and all-new C Series aircraft are great choices for new and established operators that are seeking flexibility, reliability and cost savings as they look to change domestic transportation in the region over the course of the next couple of decades,” added Mr Glock.
