Bombardier facility to take off in Tianjin

Construction started on Thursday in Tianjin for a maintenance facility to be used by Bombardier Business Aircraft, which will be the first facility for the company's business jets on the Chinese mainland.

The facility is part of a joint venture between Bombardier Inc and the Tianjin Airport Economic Area.

Construction got underway just after the central government officially added Tianjin to the list of places with pilot free trade zones on Tuesday.
