Bombardier scouting for Asian locations

[SINGAPORE] Canadian plane maker Bombardier is scouring the region for potential sites for new facilities to cater to existing backlog and future aircraft orders.

"We always invest ahead of the curve and with 300 aircraft coming onstream, we have to invest a lot," said Torbjorn Karlsson, Bombardier's vice-president of sales (Asia-Pacific) for commercial aircraft.

"We're looking at more investments into spare parts and logistics facilities for the region and we're evaluating right now where that will be."
