- Bombardier Inc. designs, manufactures, sells, and supports a portfolio of high-performance business jets for corporate, government, and individual clients worldwide. Founded in 1942 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the company operates engineering, production, and service facilities across more than 25 countries, focusing exclusively on the aerospace sector following the divestiture of its commercial aviation, rail transportation, and recreational products divisions between 2018 and 2021. Bombardier offers two primary families of aircraft, including the Challenger series with the Challenger 3500 (4,000 nm range), Challenger 650 (best-selling super-midsize jet with 4,000 nm range), and the Global series comprising the Global 5500 (5,520 nm range), Global 6500 (6,600 nm range), Global 7500 (flagship ultra-long-range jet with 7,700 nm range), and Global 8000 (fastest business jet with 8,000 nm range at Mach 0.94); it also provides comprehensive aftermarket services through its global 24/7 support network of 4,000 experts, specialized maintenance programs, and OEM parts. In recent developments, Bombardier secured a landmark US$1.7 billion firm order in June 2025 from BOND Aviation for 50 Challenger and Global jets with deliveries starting in 2027 and options for 70 more that could exceed US$4 billion in value, including a first-of-its-kind long-term service agreement; the company launched a multi-phase U.S. services expansion initiative in 2025 across multiple states to enhance infrastructure and job creation for its growing customer base, with construction advancing at sites like Al Bateen Executive Airport in the UAE for a 2026 opening; additionally, it announced a US$250 million senior notes offering in September 2025 to repay existing debt and signaled openness to defense sector mergers and acquisitions amid rising global military spending.
