Bombardier Aerospace sees strategic advantages in dealing with both lessors and airlines

Bombardier Aerospace VP Sales Southeast Asia and Australasia Frank Baistrochhi, speaking at the CAPA Airline Fleet & Finance Summit 2016, said (03-Mar-2016) the manufacturer deals with both leasing companies and airline buyers. Mr Baistrochhi noted: "There's strategic advantages to dealing with both, in years past we tended to prefer dealing directly with the operator but essentially we're indifferent to if an airline has a leasing arm or if they want to purchase directly."
