Bombardier Business Aircraft
About
Bombardier is a Canadian aerospace company specializing in the design, manufacture, and servicing of business jets, headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1942 by Joseph-Armand Bombardier as a snowmobile and transportation equipment manufacturer, the company entered the aerospace industry through its acquisition of Canadair in 1986, followed by the purchases of Short Brothers, Learjet, and de Havilland Canada. Bombardier divested its commercial aviation, rail transportation, and recreational vehicle divisions over subsequent decades to focus exclusively on business aviation, completing this strategic transformation by the early 2020s. The company's current product lineup centers on the Global and Challenger families of business jets. The Global 7500 is the company's flagship, holding the title of the largest and longest-range purpose-built business jet in the world, with a range of 7,700 nautical miles and a cabin featuring four distinct living spaces. The Global 8000 offers even greater range and speed capabilities. The Challenger 3500 serves the super-midsize segment with a range of 3,400 nautical miles. Bombardier maintains manufacturing facilities in Montreal, Toronto, Wichita (the former Learjet facility), and Mexico. The company operates a global network of service centers and fixed-base operations, providing maintenance, repair, and overhaul services to its installed fleet of over 5,000 aircraft worldwide. Bombardier employs approximately 18,000 people and generates annual revenues in excess of seven billion dollars from its business aviation operations. The company is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
