The expansion into the country’s fifth-most populous city will allow the company to offer an “enhanced level of service to its special mission customers in this important market,” according to Tuesday’s news release, including easier access to team members and the company’s Challenger and Global aircraft, which can be produced to suit civilian, military and hybrid missions.
