Bombardier Donates a C Series Aircraft to the Ecole Nationale d'Aérotechnique - Seite 2

"We are honored to receive this extremely significant gift. The C Series is a true jewel of Québec's technology and this donation is a major educational contribution to our training programs, both from a practical and theory stand point," said Sylvain Lambert, Director, École Nationale d'Aérotechnique. "As the sole provider of aerospace technical training in the province of Québec, this new addition to our existing fleet will allow the next generation of workers to become more knowledgeable of the industry's latest technological breakthroughs. On behalf of our students, our teaching faculty, and staff members, I would like to sincerely thank Bombardier for its confidence in our school, and for this gift which will enrich the quality of our training programs."

Bombardier established many successful partnerships over the years with educational institutions specializing in aerospace and engineering by offering internships, scholarships and corporate donations, as well as participating in research and development projects. Just last year, Bombardier donated a CRJ100 to the British Columbia Institute of Technology, and a Learjet 60 to ÉNA.
