Flybaboo SA Will Join Growing List of Q400 Operators

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/24/06 -- Bombardier Aerospace announced today that M1 Travel Ltd., one of the largest shareholders of Geneva, Switzerland-based Flybaboo SA, has placed a firm order for two Bombardier Q400 turboprop airliners and has taken options on an additional four. The Q400 aircraft will be operated by Flybaboo SA.

The value of the firm order contract is approximately $51 million US
based on Q400 aircraft list prices.

Flybaboo, incorporated in August, 2003, has been operating two leased 50-seat Bombardier Q300 aircraft since its inception. The airline serves Geneva, Florence, Lugano, Prague, Ibiza, Valencia, St-Tropez, Venice and Nice.

"The Bombardier Q400 proved itself as the most economical aircraft in its class and has generated a large interest and demand among regional carriers, hence our confidence in the Q400 as a long-term investment," said Maher Mikati, Executive Director, M1 Travel Ltd.

"The Bombardier Q400 enables us to build on the current fleet of Q300
aircraft by offering more speed and seats which we require in order to grow our business," said Julian Cook, Chief Executive Officer, Flybaboo. "In addition to its well-known qualities, the Q400 will be an easy transition from the Q300 as we take advantage of Q-Series family commonality."

"We welcome Flybaboo to the growing list of Bombardier Q400 customers," said Steven Ridolfi, President, Bombardier Regional Aircraft. "The Q400 is quite simply the new standard for regional air transport, a fact that is becoming more and more realized by the airline community."
