Ook Bombardier staat op de Dubai Airshow. Ze nemen drie vliegtuigen mee, maar niet de nieuwe Cseries. De Challenger 605 jet, de Global 6000, en de Q400 NextGen turboprop airliner zullen op de grond te bezichtigen zijn. Bombardier heeft geen airshows aangekondigd.
De gloednieuwe Cseries zal dus niet aanwezig zijn, maar er is wel full-scale cabine en cockpit unit aanwezig. De Cseries is ontworpen voor de 100-149 passagiers markt en een directe concurrent van de kleinste A319 en 737.

Challenger 605 aircraft: The revered Challenger 605 jet builds upon the legacy of productivity, quality and reliability of its predecessor, the peerless Challenger 604 jet. Leading its market segment throughout the world, the Challenger 605 aircraft features one of the widest stand-up cabins of any large category business jet available today and can fly 4,000 nm (7,408 km), connecting Dubai and Hong Kong with six passengers*.
Global 6000 aircraft: The Global 6000 business jet features the largest cabin of any purpose-built corporate aircraft – offering more cabin volume and more floor space than its closest competitor. No other business jet in the ultra long-range segment matches the high-speed range capability delivered by this aircraft. Offering the ultimate in cabin comfort, this impressive jet can link Dubai and Cape Town non-stop with eight passengers and three-to-four crew*.
Q400 NextGen aircraft: The Q400 NextGen turboprop is an ideal short-haul aircraft that delivers an unmatched combination of efficiency, speed, performance, payload and passenger comfort with a small environmental footprint. The aircraft offers network planners outstanding flexibility that no other turboprop can, providing up to eight more seats, a larger cargo compartment and up to 30 per cent more speed that its closest competitor. Worldwide, Q400 and Q400 NextGen aircraft have transported more than 295 million passengers. The Q400 and Q400 NextGen aircraft program includes some 50 customers and operators in over 30 countries on five continents.
