L'accord de coopération stratégique à long terme se fonde sur le désir, commun à COMAC et Bombardier, d'associer la nature complémentaire potentielle de leurs produits et leur expertise correspondante. Cela comprend d'étudier une collaboration pour leur marketing, les relations avec les clients et les stratégies d'assistance envers les clients afin d'aider chacun d'entre eux à augmenter sa part de marché globale sur les marchés émergents ou mûrs.
Both parties will also evaluate possibilities for cooperation with regards to C919/CSeries aircraft program commonalities, joint procurement as well as collaboration on future Bombardier and COMAC product lines.

Both our companies have specific strengths that, when combined, will enhance the competitiveness of our respective aircraft programs and businesses as a whole," said Mr. Zhang, Chairman of COMAC.
"This agreement represents another important step in the strengthening of our relationship. We believe that this collaboration will generate positive results for both the C919 and CSeries aircraft programs. It also opens the door to further cooperation on any other projects that would be mutually beneficial," stated Pierre Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bombardier Inc.
