Bombardier announced the sale of the all new fully-composite jet in
conjunction with a Learjet 85 performance briefing, at the ongoing
European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in
Geneva, Switzerland. The order is valued at approximately $103
million U.S., based on the 2008 list price of typically equipped
aircraft.

"The Learjet 85 program was met with tremendous customer approval
from the start, when we first began introducing it to customers last
fall. From the very beginning, ExecuJet was keen to invest in this
exciting new platform," said Bob Horner, senior vice-president,
sales, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "We are encouraged by ExecuJet's
interest in our newest Learjet model, and their continued interest in
our wide range of business jets."

Australasia. The new Learjet 85 aircraft will join ExecuJet's
existing charter fleet which includes 29 Bombardier business jets
operating worldwide.

"Our longstanding relationship with Bombardier is rooted in our
confidence in the exceptional quality of aircraft they continue to
design and produce," said Niall Olver, chief executive officer,
ExecuJet Aviation Group. "The Learjet 85 aircraft, will fill a very
valuable niche in the market, and allow us to continue to offer our
customers the newest and most innovative products."

The new Learjet 85 - redefining the midsize business jet class

Launched on October 30, 2007 the new Learjet 85 aircraft will be the
first Bombardier Aerospace jet to feature an all-composite structure
and will be the first all-composite structure business jet designed
for type certification under U.S. Federal Aviation Administration FAR

Part 25.

An extraordinary advancement in next generation flight, the Learjet
85 aircraft's all-composite structure will allow Learjet designers to
maximize cabin comfort while minimizing drag and improving
performance. Designed to provide a larger, more comfortable cabin
than any existing midsize aircraft, this jet will offer eight
passengers a stand-up cabin built to ensure superior productivity and
comfort.

Building on legendary Learjet performance

True to its legendary heritage, the Learjet 85 aircraft is set to
deliver the extraordinary performance, superior technology and
exceptional value Learjet aircraft owners expect. Powered by Pratt &
Whitney Canada PW307B engines, the aircraft engines each boast 6,100
pounds of take-off thrust, while the low-emission combuster offers
reduced environmental impact. The clean-sheet Learjet 85 aircraft
targets a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.82 and a transcontinental range
of up to 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km)(i).

The new Learjet 85 flight deck combines advanced technology with
superior design elements for a cockpit environment unlike any other
midsize jet. The latest in technological advancements from Rockwell
Collins - the new Pro Line Fusion avionics suite - is once again
paired with superior design aesthetics from world-renowned design
consultancy firm Design Q, to create the ultimate Learjet flight
control environment.

Learjet is the first name in corporate aviation. Since acquiring
Learjet Inc. in 1990, Bombardier Aerospace has carried forward the
brand's proud legacy by launching eight high-performance and
fuel-efficient aircraft.
