Bombardier Aerospace va implanter un site de production au Maroc.

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC - (Marketwire - le 16 novembre 2011) - Bombardier Aerospace a
annoncé aujourd'hui avoir signé un protocole d'entente avec le Gouvernement du
Royaume du Maroc pour l'implantation d'un site de production au Maroc. L'endroit
exact où sera implanté ce site sera annoncé plus tard. Bombardier Aerospace a
l'intention d'investir environ 200 millions de dollars américains dans les
équipements, la construction et les frais de démarrage au cours de ces huit
prochaines années.

Les différentes phases de mise en place du nouveau site de production marocain
de Bombardier Aerospace doivent démarrer en 2012 ; elles comprendront au départ
des installations d'assemblage partiel de structures simples. The new facility
is scheduled to start manufacturing in 2013. Details on the type of components
to be manufactured will be finalized in the coming months.

By the end of 2020, employment at the Morocco facility is expected to reach 850
skilled and trained workers. Bombardier Aerospace anticipates that there will be
no impact on its current workforce level at other sites as a result of this
announcement.

"Globalization of our industry has opened up new markets and new opportunities,"
said Guy C. Hachey, President and Chief Operating Officer, Bombardier Aerospace.
"We have progressively extended our business presence around the world and we
are continuing today to better serve our international customers."

"Bombardier Aerospace is committed to a long-term relationship with the Moroccan
Government to develop a world-class aerospace industry in the country," added
Mr. Hachey. "By establishing its own fully integrated manufacturing facility in
Morocco, Bombardier Aerospace will serve as a catalyst for the aerospace
industry in the country and will look for opportunities to share some of its
knowledge and complex manufacturing processes."

Bombardier Aerospace chose Morocco for a number of reasons: internationally
competitive manufacturing costs, low shipping and transportation costs,
proximity to Europe, and the commitment by the Moroccan Government to the
development of the aerospace industry.

The announcement of this new manufacturing facility in Morocco was made during
the Dubai Airshow 2011, where Bombardier is currently showcasing its broad
spectrum of innovative products, technical expertise, and superior customer
support and aircraft maintenance services. Held in the United Arab Emirates, the
Dubai Airshow, the world's third largest airshow, places an emphasis on the
Middle-East, Africa, Europe and India.
