About the manufacturer

Bombardier Aviation, a division of Bombardier Inc., is headquartered in Dorval, Quebec, Canada. The company currently produces the Global and Challenger series of business jets. At its peak, Bombardier operated manufacturing plants in 27 countries and employed over 70,000 workers. However, under financial pressure, it significantly reduced its workforce and divested its entire commercial aircraft portfolio including the Q-Series regional turboprop, CRJ-Series of regional jets, and the C-Series narrowbody jet.
