Bombardier Aerospace a aujourd'hui élargi sa présence à l'élite du tennis en
nommant le champion Novak Djokovic comme ambassadeur de la marque Learjet. Il se
joint à une liste exclusive d'ambassadeurs de la marque d'avions d'affaires de
Bombardier dans laquelle figurent l'acteur et pilote John Travolta, l'architecte
Frank Gehry, le chef d'orchestre Valeri Guerguiev et le pianiste classique Lang
Lang.

« Rapidité, agilité, performance et efficacité sont des qualités essentielles
que partagent Novak Djokovic et les avions Learjet », a déclaré Steve Ridolfi,
président, Bombardier Avions d'affaires. "His passion for winning, outspoken
personality and natural ability to inspire people make him an ideal ambassador

Ranked World No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) since July
2011, to date Novak Djokovic has won five Grand Slam singles titles: the
2008, 2011 and 2012 Australian Open, 2011 Wimbledon Championships and the 2011
US Open. In 2011, he became the sixth male player to win three Majors in a
calendar year and is the youngest player to have reached the semifinals of all
four Grand Slam events, separately and consecutively.

"Flying on Bombardier business aircraft allows me to balance my extensive travel
schedule with the rigorous demands of playing on the ATP tour and all the public
appearances in between," said Mr. Djokovic. "I've been a Learjet fan for many
years; they're fantastic planes."

Learjet business aircraft: With over 45 years of history marked by a multitude
of performance records, Learjet aircraft are the world's first purpose-built
business jets. The creation of inventor Bill Lear, who designed the first
Learjet aircraft based on a Swiss fighter-bomber, Learjet aircraft are renowned
worldwide for their sleek ramp appeal and favoured by pilots for their handling
characteristics and high-performance.

Since acquiring the Learjet Corporation, Bombardier has revitalized both the
brand and the product line, bringing to market no less than eight new models,
including the new Learjet 85 aircraft.
