* Bombardier Gets USD$400 Mln Australian Order
Bombardier’s aerospace unit said AVWest, a privately owned Australian aviation company, placed firm orders for four Global 7000 and two Global 8000 ultra long-range jets, valued at about USD$400 million.
The order comes close on the heels of Switzerland-based VistaJet's USD$650 million order for 10 Global 8000 aircraft.
Last October, Montreal-based Bombardier unveiled plans for the newest additions to the Global family -- the Global 7000 and the Global 8000 -- which will feature the largest cabins and fly the farthest of any business jets in the market.
Corporate jet operator AVWest owns and operates the Perth Jet Centre.
