DUBAI -- Bombardier appears to be closing in on a new ultra long-range business jet to rival Gulfstream's G650 and replace the company's Global Express XRS.The new clean-sheet project, says one source familiar with the program, is code named the M170.
Bombardier declined to comment if the M170 was, in fact, the company's new ultra long-range business jet, however the a recent increase in listings in support of a non-descriptive "M170 program" have begun appearing on Canadian job websites.
In response to an inquiry about the M170 designation, the company chose only to say, "We are involved in a number of R&D projects."

Bombardier M17 I think is a great aircraft, powerful and reliable to fly anywhere, but if I want to fly to a place, especially in Asia, I would choose Air Asia why? Since Air Asia is cheap can be reached by all Asian societies. I hope that Bombardier will also apply the same tariff to the users in the future as the tariff imposed on Air Asia Pluss
