For the first time since Bombardier initiated its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) aircraft program in 2021, the airframer has one of the examples on display at an airshow. In its EBACE 2023 static display (AD_09) this week, the Canadian OEM is showing off a 2012 vintage Challenger 605 that has been factory-refurbished through the program.

While some third-party companies have offered remanufactured aircraft programs in the past, Bombardier (Booth K40) is the first manufacturer to do so. “What we have done is created a brand new category of preowned aircraft,” said Paul Sislian, executive v-p for aftermarket services and strategy. “The way we have done that is by offering a full turnkey solution that offers complete peace of mind to our customers.”
