Bombardier’s new Aviator Lounge in Monaco.

29 May

Only a short while ago, Bombardier launched the brand-new Aviator Lounge by Bombardier, which is situated in a strategic location at the Monaco Yacht Club. His Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, Pierre Beaudoin, the Chairman of the Board of Bombardier, and other senior Bombardier executives attended the Lounge's official opening.

Visitors will be able to learn about Bombardier's aircraft, heritage, and innovations in an environment that is both physically spectacular and hospitable, thanks to the new lounge. The regional sales team from Bombardier will be the ones to host the guests who are visiting this special lounge.

“We are immensely proud to reaffirm our presence in the region with the opening of the magnificent new Aviator Lounge by Bombardier, the first tailor-made space of this kind by any jet manufacturer. We are honoured to be so firmly anchored within the Monaco Yacht Club, a historic and prestigious institution at the heart of the Principality of Monaco,” said Emmanuel Bornand, Vice President of International Sales, Bombardier.

“The Aviator Lounge is a unique meeting place. Thanks to its location, it symbolises the meeting of the land, the sea, and the air. Most importantly, it provides a welcoming place for us to meet with anyone who wants to stop by to learn about Bombardier’s groundbreaking research in sustainability, about the eight decades of innovation that resulted in the uncompromising, record-breaking performance of our jets, and our pioneering research into more sustainable ways to fly.”

Through the addition of the Aviator Lounge, Bombardier is able to further strengthen its footprint around the world. Each member of Bombardier's sales team in Europe is strategically placed around the continent in order to ensure that they are accessible to customers regardless of where they are situated. Included in the extensive network of servicing facilities are five Line Maintenance Stations, two service centres located in Berlin and Biggin Hill in London, and two service centres in London. Stations at the Nice airport, which is the second busiest airport in Europe in terms of business aviation, and the Le Bourget airport in Paris are among them in terms of their significance.

Bombardier - Aviator Lounge - Blisk Lighting Feature

The Aviator Lounge is a design masterpiece that already incorporates Bombardier's new brand identity, which was introduced just a few weeks ago. The well-known architect Andrea Mosca, who is located in Paris, was the one who thought of it. Beginning with a blank canvas, he conceived of a welcoming place that is centred on Bombardier's fundamental value, which is the significance of genuine, personal, and familial ties to the company.

Mosca came up with clever methods to incorporate Bombardier's most significant ideas and accomplishments into the design, using them not just as symbols but also as discussion starters. The welcome desk, which resembles an aeroplane wing, is a nod to Bombardier's long history of innovation in the design of aircraft wings. Specifically, it is reminiscent of the winglet that was initially implemented on Learjet aircraft before becoming widespread in aircraft design. It is also a testament to Bombardier's Smooth Fløx Wing, which is an engineering wonder that is responsible for the famed smooth flight and uncompromising performance of Bombardier Global aircraft.

These aircraft are capable of performing in all sorts of weather and are the largest to land in airports such as Gstaad's Saanen. There is a spectacular lighting feature that hangs from the ceiling that looks like an engine fan blisk. This serves as a reminder that Bombardier was the first company in the business aviation industry to employ this sophisticated engine type.

Additionally prominently featured is Bombardier's EcoJet research platform, which is being used by the business to evaluate aerodynamics, propulsion, and other innovations that have the potential to cut the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by an aircraft by fifty percent. As a sign of Bombardier's long-standing passion and commitment to discovering real solutions to decrease the environmental imprint of aviation, it serves as a manifestation of this dedication.

The stunning photographs of Bombardier aircraft that Guillaume Plisson, a well-known French photographer, has taken, adorn the walls in addition to enhancing the ambiance. The photographs were taken as part of his recent long engagement with Bombardier, which produced a number of photos that are emotive and contribute to the new visual identity of the firm. Plisson, who is widely recognised as one of the most outstanding marine and yacht photographers in the world, made his debut in the realm of aviation with this project.
