Bombardier opens new Bombay hub as India aviation soars

Bombardier Aerospace inaugurated a regional support office in Bombay on Tuesday boosting its presence in a market forecast to take delivery of 250 business jets over the next ten years.
The office is the company’s fifth regional service office to open outside of North America in the past three years, it said in a statement. It also plans to open similar facilities for business aircraft in Dubai and Shanghai by the end of the year.
India is one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world, with about $80 billion US likely to be spent on new aircraft over the next ten years and $30 billion on airport infrastructure, according to figures from the Investment Commission of India.
James Hoblyn, president, customer services and specialized and amphibious aircraft told reporters that India is expected to take delivery of 250 business jets over the next ten years, reiterating a forecast for the market made at last year's Paris Air Show.
