- Bombardier Inc. designs, manufactures, and services business jets for corporate, government, and military customers worldwide. The company offers a portfolio of market-leading aircraft including the Challenger family of super-midsize and large jets, such as the Challenger 3500 and Challenger 650; the Learjet 75 Liberty light jet; and the Global family of large and ultra-long-range jets, including the Global 5500, Global 6500, Global 7500, and the forthcoming Global 8000, the fastest civil aircraft since Concorde. Bombardier also provides comprehensive aftermarket services through a global network of 10 facilities across six countries, defense solutions for special missions like surveillance and head-of-state transport, and aerostructure components produced in facilities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico; its customers operate more than 5,100 aircraft supporting operations in key markets across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Founded in 1942 and headquartered in Dorval, Quebec, Canada, Bombardier has transformed from its origins in snow vehicles to a pure-play aviation leader following the divestitures of its commercial aircraft and rail transportation businesses.
In recent developments, Bombardier secured a significant firm order in 2025 for 50 Challenger and Global jets valued at US$1.7 billion, including a pioneering comprehensive service agreement and options for 70 additional aircraft that could elevate the total to over US$4 billion. The company launched a major multi-phase U.S. services expansion initiative in 2025 to enhance its network in existing and new regions, creating jobs and infrastructure to support fleet growth ahead of Global 8000 entry into service. Construction advances on a new service center at Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi, slated for opening in 2026, further bolsters its global support capabilities.
