Bombardier has announced the delivery of a fifth Global business jet to Swedish defense supplier Saab's Linköping, Sweden, ready for conversion into Saab's Airborne Early Warning and Control solution known as GlobalEye. The aircraft was delivered to Saab from Bombardier's Toronto manufacturing site after interior completions works at Flying Colours Corp. in Peterborough, Ontario, prior to arriving in Sweden.
Carl-Johan Bergholm, Senior Vice President and head of Saab business area Surveillance commented that: “Saab partners with industry leaders, which is why we chose Bombardier's Global 6000 aircraft as the platform for our advanced Airborne Early Warning and Control solution. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Bombardier and Canadian industry.”
