Bombardier Opens RSO in Dubai; Appoints VP Sales Latin America and Caribbean

Bombardier has opened a new Regional Support Office (RSO) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The office - the 23rd Bombardier RSO to open in the network - will anchor regional support capabilities for Bombardier commercial aircraft customers throughout the Middle East and surrounding areas.

Bombardier has also strengthened its commercial aircraft sales and marketing team with the appointment of Alex Glock, Regional Vice President, Sales - Latin America and the Caribbean.

Mr. Glock will be based in the region with the location of his central sales office to be confirmed at a later date. Satellite commercial aircraft sales offices are already located in Sao Paolo, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the near future, the breadth of the Latin America commercial aircraft sales and marketing teams will be strengthened further as the central office is staffed to fully support the region.

Kevin Smith, Vice President, Sales, Americas, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, said, "Alex brings over 20 years of industry experience and strategic knowledge of the Latin America and Caribbean markets. He will be instrumental in further strengthening our presence in these key strategic regions, which are experiencing robust economic growth - projected to continue with events such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics activities in Brazil. These major international sporting events are spurring regional growth, including investment in secondary aviation infrastructure, and the development of low fare carriers, providing wider access to affordable air travel."
