2025 Customer Advisory Committee meetings
Bombardier invites you to take out your calendars and save the dates of our 2025 Customer Advisory Committee meetings for Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft.
Held twice a year in spring and fall, these two-day meetings are an excellent forum for aircraft owners and operators to provide feedback directly to Bombardier. Join us for informative fleet-related sessions and community networking opportunities, as you lend your voice to support our continuous product improvement.
Part of each meeting will be available via live webcast hosted on the Bombardier Customer Portal. Please note that webcast dates are underlined in the following schedule:

We strongly encourage owners and operators of Bombardier aircraft to participate in our Customer Advisory Committee meetings. Committees are considered “the voice of the fleet” and facilitate the flow of information between the customer and OEM. The information from these meetings helps Bombardier focus on a fleet’s top issues, provides guidance to owners and operators, and ensures that manufacturer actions are aligned with customer needs.
Bombardier always welcomes your feedback. Our team hopes to see you at a 2025 Customer Advisory Committee meeting!
