Bombardier Aerospace today expanded its range to the elite tennis racquet set
naming top-ranked champion Novak Djokovic as a Learjet Brand Ambassador. He
joins an exclusive list of Bombardier Business Aircraft brand ambassadors
including actor and pilot John Travolta, architect Frank Gehry, maestro Valery
Gergiev, and classical pianist Lang Lang.
"Speed, agility, performance and efficiency are key attributes that Novak
Djokovic and Learjet aircraft have in common," said Steve Ridolfi, President,
Bombardier Business Aircraft. "His passion for winning, outspoken personality
and natural ability to inspire people make him an ideal ambassador for the
Learjet brand."
Ranked World No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) since July
2011, to date Novak Djokovic has won five Grand Slam singles titles: the
2008, 2011 and 2012 Australian Open, 2011 Wimbledon Championships and the 2011
US Open. In 2011, he became the sixth male player to win three Majors in a
calendar year and is the youngest player to have reached the semifinals of all
four Grand Slam events, separately and consecutively.
"Flying on Bombardier business aircraft allows me to balance my extensive travel
schedule with the rigorous demands of playing on the ATP tour and all the public
appearances in between," said Mr. Djokovic. "I've been a Learjet fan for many
years; they're fantastic planes."
Learjet business aircraft: With over 45 years of history marked by a multitude
of performance records, Learjet aircraft are the world's first purpose-built
business jets. The creation of inventor Bill Lear, who designed the first
Learjet aircraft based on a Swiss fighter-bomber, Learjet aircraft are renowned
worldwide for their sleek ramp appeal and favoured by pilots for their handling
characteristics and high-performance.
Since acquiring the Learjet Corporation, Bombardier has revitalized both the
brand and the product line, bringing to market no less than eight new models,
including the new Learjet 85 aircraft.
