FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier today announced the planned opening of a new service centre at Fort Wayne International Airport in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As the company’s new maintenance facility in the Midwestern United States, this new service centre kicks off Bombardier’s previously announced multi-phase, large-scale U.S. expansion initiative. Complementing the company’s heavy maintenance facilities throughout the U.S. and existing parts hub in Chicago, the new location will further strengthen customers’ ability to access exceptional service and support. With top rankings in both Aviation International News and ProPilot Product Support surveys, Bombardier continues to set the benchmark for easy, industry-leading service.

Once fully operational, the 64,500 square foot facility will offer hangar space able to accommodate up to six aircraft. The site will provide a full range of services — including scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, modifications, avionics installations and AOG support.

“The U.S. is a key market for Bombardier, with nearly 3,000 aircraft in operation. Growing demand from the Midwest made Fort Wayne a natural choice for our newest service centre, which will serve as a strategic hub for customers from across the region and beyond,” said Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Aftermarket Services & Strategy, Bombardier. “This new service centre demonstrates our unwavering commitment toward customer proximity and convenience, as well as offering superior care backed by the confidence of world-class expertise. This facility strengthens our service footprint across the U.S., supports our long-term vision for economic growth and local job creation, and reflects the steadfast commitment of our regional partners.”

The new service centre highlights the collaborative effort between the State of Indiana, Fort Wayne International Airport and the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce, who worked closely with Bombardier to support the company’s growth plan in the region.

“Bombardier’s investment in Fort Wayne is a testament to Indiana’s pro-growth environment, skilled workforce, and strong infrastructure,” said Indiana Governor Mike Braun. “This new facility will create high-wage jobs and boost the regional economy for years to come.”

“At the heart of this announcement are people. Bombardier’s investment means new, high-skill careers for Hoosiers, but it also reflects the vision of regional leaders who put their people first. When companies like Bombardier see that commitment, they know Indiana is the right place to grow,” said Indiana Secretary of Commerce David Adams.

“Bombardier’s investment in Fort Wayne sends a strong message that our community and region are well positioned for current and future economic development opportunities and new jobs,” said Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker. “We value and appreciate Bombardier’s belief in our great city as we will work together to help ensure a successful and lasting partnership that will enhance the quality of life for our residents, visitors, and businesses.”

With the upcoming entry into service of the Global 8000⁽²⁾ aircraft and the continued growth of Bombardier’s global fleet, the company is focused on strengthening its U.S. capabilities in key hubs to better serve customers where they operate. The company will also prioritize talent recruitment and workforce development to ensure a consistent pipeline of skilled professionals at the new site and across its network.

Bombardier’s current Services business already has a strong footprint in the U.S., anchored by service centres in key locations in Dallas, Tucson, Hartford, Wichita, and Miami Opa Locka, which opened in 2022. Customers also benefit from a robust support ecosystem that includes Mobile Response Teams (MRT) operating from 20 locations nationwide — ensuring fast, expert assistance wherever it is needed.

ST-HUBERT, QC, Sept. 19, 2025 /CNW/ – Airmedic, Quebec’s leading air medical transport provider, announces the acquisition of a second Bombardier Learjet 45XR to support its international repatriation operation. This nearly $7 million investment follows the $8 million invested in 2024 for its first Learjet, bringing the company’s total investment to $15 million in less than two years.

With the integration of its first Learjet in 2024, Airmedic established a strategic base of operations at Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) to support its global missions. This second aircraft, which will enter service by the end of 2025 after avionic system upgrades and a full medical cabin reconfiguration, will double the company’s repatriation capacity and address rapidly growing demand. This expansion also generates tangible benefits for Quebec’s economy, with the creation of more than a dozen specialized jobs since the summer of 2024.

“This investment marks a pivotal milestone for Airmedic. With this second Learjet, we are extending the reach of Quebec’s expertise in international medical transport. For our patients and their families, it means faster, safer, and more compassionate repatriation. It also demonstrates our strong commitment to our mission: ensuring continuity of high-quality care, both in Canada and abroad,” said Louis-Philippe Loiselle Fortier, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives & Business Development at Airmedic.

Since 2024, Airmedic has successfully carried out a wide range of international missions, from complex patient transfers to critical interventions requiring high-level medical and logistical coordination. This success reflects a rapidly growing demand for transport services, in addition to the essential needs within Quebec and Canada, where patient transfers and urgent organ transport remain priorities.

The arrival of this second Learjet represents a defining step in the development of Airmedic’s international program. Beyond increasing capacity, it will provide greater operational resilience, more flexibility in mission planning, and the ability to respond simultaneously to multiple urgent cases.

About Airmedic

Airmedic operates a fleet exclusively dedicated to medical transport, including six Pilatus PC-12 NG aircraft, two Bombardier Learjet 45XRs, and five helicopters. The 24/7 coordination center ensures optimal management of missions. Airmedic also holds Accreditation Canada’s QMENTUM accreditation, confirming the highest international standards of quality and safety in its services.

• The Chicago and Frankfurt Parts Hubs serve as key pillars of Bombardier’s global service network, ensuring an efficient parts distribution and a reliable, high-quality service for customers around the world
• Every day, Chicago and Frankfurt’s Parts Hubs ship almost 2,000 and 400 individual part numbers respectively. By early 2026, Chicago is projected to surpass 10 million parts shipped, while Frankfurt is on track to reach 1.5 million parts shipped by year-end⁽¹⁾
• In 2025, Bombardier’s commitment to delivering exceptional product support – including maximizing parts availability – was recognized by two leading industry surveys, AIN and Professional Pilot, with the company earning the top ranking in both
• By stockpiling parts in multiple regions, Bombardier was able to get a 92% “off the shelf” shipping rate

MONTREAL, Sept. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier proudly celebrates the 20^th anniversary of two pillars of its global customer service network: the Chicago and Frankfurt Parts Hubs. This week, hundreds of employees in each location gathered to take part in celebrations to highlight this significant anniversary. Suppliers, local officials and members of the industry were also invited to join the festivities to mark this major milestone.

“For two decades, our Chicago and Frankfurt hubs have been instrumental in providing the essential parts our customers need to ensure their aircraft are ready for any mission,” said Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Bombardier Aftermarket Services & Strategy. “With round-the-clock operations and inventory systems programmed for speed and precision, these hubs deliver the ultimate piece of mind and confidence, underscoring Bombardier’s overriding commitment to world-class service, delivered with exceptional care and convenience.”

“For two decades, the Des Plaines Global Parts Distribution Hub has supported our region’s economy while helping Bombardier customers keep their aircraft mission-ready. I’m especially proud of the more than 100 employees here whose skill and dedication have set a standard for excellence. This anniversary is a testament not only to Bombardier’s commitment to innovation but also to the strength of Illinois’ workforce,” said Illinois U.S. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi.

To enable easy movement of parts to customers, Bombardier made the decision 20 years ago to consolidate multiple smaller sites into two large hubs, strategically located close to major airports. Chicago’s facility officially opened on June 27, 2005, followed by Frankfurt on August 29 the same year. Today, the two hubs ship respectively 2,000 and 400 individual part numbers daily. Chicago can store over 100,000 unique parts at full capacity, while Frankfurt’s facility has a capacity of approximately 60,000 parts. By early 2026, Chicago is projected to surpass 10 million parts shipped, while Frankfurt is on track to reach 1.5 million parts shipped by year-end⁽¹⁾.

To further support customers in key regions, Bombardier also operates four regional depots in Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai and San Luis Obispo, California.

Bombardier’s focus on parts availability and rapid delivery continues to earn industry accolades. In Aviation International News’s 2025 Product Support Survey, Bombardier ranked first among business jet OEMs for the second consecutive year, reflecting its consistent focus on customer satisfaction. Bombardier maintained an impressive 92% “off the shelf” shipping rate, ensuring that customers receive the parts they need, precisely when they need them. Further reinforcing this leadership, Bombardier also secured the top spot in the 2025 Professional Pilot Corporate Aircraft Product Support Survey. These achievements demonstrate that the company is setting a new benchmark for excellence in the industry.

• Bombardier has picked Moorpark, California, for its newly relocated component manufacturing site
• The new 46,000 sq. ft. space provides a modern and collaborative work environment that is perfectly suited to the expertise of Bombardier’s highly skilled team
• A ribbon cutting ceremony held on August 20, 2025, brought together Janice Parvin, Chair of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors representing the Fourth District, community leaders and Bombardier employees to mark this exciting milestone

MONTREAL, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier today announced the inauguration of its newly relocated and expanded component manufacturing facility in Moorpark, California. This milestone enhances the company’s U.S. operations and underlines Bombardier’s commitment to excellence in manufacturing. The Moorpark facility produces key components for the performance-leading Global 7500 and Global 8000⁽¹⁾ business jets. Bombardier held a ribbon cutting ceremony at its new site on August 20, 2025, and welcomed Janice Parvin, Chair of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors representing the Fourth District, community leaders as well as Bombardier employees to celebrate the transition.

The Moorpark site replaces Bombardier’s previous Los Angeles-area operations acquired in 2022. The new site is home to 30 employees and is almost 46,000 square feet, boasting a bigger operational footprint. The facility now offers a more modern space that reflects the altitude of Bombardier’s world-class business jets, the expertise of its highly skilled workforce and its advanced engineering capabilities.

“The relocation of our component manufacturing facility was an important move that not only secures our long-term presence in the California but also expands our manufacturing footprint in the United States,” said David Murray, Executive Vice President, Manufacturing, IT, and Bombardier Operational Excellence System. “The new Moorpark facility reflects our commitment to both our employees and our customers. It stands as a testament to Bombardier’s dedication to cutting-edge innovation and offering high-quality jobs. We are proud to remain an integral part of the fabric of the California community and to continue strengthening our ties in the region.”

“We are pleased with Bombardier’s investment in the area, which clearly states it as a strategic location for its highly skilled workforce. Its continued presence also reaffirms the State of California as a key player in the aerospace sector”, said Janice Parvin, Chair of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors representing the Fourth District.

“With Bombardier’s new facility, Moorpark is stepping onto the global stage as a hub for advanced manufacturing. This investment brings cutting-edge innovation, high-quality jobs, and lasting economic growth that will resonate across the region”, said John Bandek, Economic Development Manager, City of Moorpark.

Since leasing the Moorpark site last year, Bombardier has continued to grow its footprint in the region and across the United States as both an aircraft component manufacturer and service and support provider. The Moorpark site plays an integral role in Bombardier’s global manufacturing network, producing key components for the company’s industry-leading Global 7500 and Global 8000 business jets.

MONTREAL, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier is proud to announce the launch of a major expansion initiative within its services and support network in the United States. This multi-phase, multi-site expansion initiative aims to meet the increasing demand for OEM-backed convenience and care from the company’s growing customer base. Expansion projects are expected to roll out over the coming years, and will be focused on both regions where Bombardier currently operates, as well as new ones. As part of this growth, the company anticipates a need to recruit highly skilled talent, creating new job opportunities in each of the targeted regions.

“Bombardier’s fleet in the United States is growing at a rapid pace, and so should our American network of services and support,” said Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Bombardier Aftermarket Services and Strategy. “Today’s announcement demonstrates our full commitment to provide exceptional care and seamless convenience, so that our customers can fly with total confidence.

MONTREAL, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier Inc. (TSX: BBD.B) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, placing the company on track to meet full-year guidance. The second quarter saw a sharp increase in orders, boosted by solid Bombardier Defense activity and a large-scale order for 50 firm aircraft and 70 options from a new customer. Services revenues also increased by an impressive 16% year-over-year, and the company’s service network and offerings continued to expand.

“The Bombardier team has performed at a very high level in the first half of the year, setting our company on the path to meet 2025 guidance and confidently step into the future with a large, diversified backlog, an expanding service infrastructure, new Defense opportunities and the world’s fastest business jet, the Global 8000, crowning a second-to-none portfolio,” said Éric Martel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier. “Demand for our products and services remains strong in traditional business jet markets, and continues to garner new opportunities in defense markets. Our diversified growth mindset took center stage at the Paris Airshow where Bombardier Defense deepened existing ties, forged new ones and secured strategic orders. We have the right ingredients in place to succeed in the near-term and the right foundations to sustainably grow our business long-term.”

Services Continues Expansion, Aircraft Deliveries in First-Half of 2025 Equal Year-Over-Year

The company’s Services business maintained impressive revenue momentum reporting 16% growth year-over-year and reaching $590 million for the quarter. The company continues to recruit technicians worldwide to maximize its footprint, while adding conveniently located services for customers. As announced earlier this year, expansion plans are on track for a new maintenance facility located in Abu Dhabi as well as a large paint facility in the United Kingdom, located at the company’s London Biggin Hill Service Centre.

The service network is well equipped to serve the growing fleet, to which Bombardier added 36 Challenger and Global aircraft in the second quarter, with the quarter-specific delivery mix leaning toward Challenger jets based on planned schedule. First-half deliveries totaled 59 aircraft, consistent year-over-year, placing the company on a steady pace to meet year-end guidance.

The company generated $2.0 billion in total revenues during the second quarter, with adjusted EBITDA and reported EBIT reaching $297 million and $205 million respectively. Net income came in at $193 million. Adjusted net income reached $117 million, compared to $111 million recorded year-over-year. Diluted EPS was $1.87, a $1.75 increase compared to the same quarter last year, while adjusted EPS was at $1.11.

The company ended the quarter with free cash flow usage of $164 million, largely resulting from inventory build to meet higher expected aircraft deliveries in the second half of the year. Cash flow usage from operating activities and net additions to PP&E and intangible assets were at $128 million and $36 million respectively.

A Significant Backlog Jump

The backlog reached a total value of $16.1 billion as at June 30, 2025, an impressive growth of $1.9 billion compared to the previous quarter, representing Bombardier’s highest single-quarter business jet unit order volume in more than a decade. This impressive result was fueled by a large-scale order of 50 firm aircraft combined with a maintenance services partnership for a first-time customer at the end of June 2025. Growing demand in multiple key regions across traditional business jet sales and defense aircraft also contributed to the 2.3 unit book-to-bill as at June 30, 2025.

Solid Liquidity and Improved Debt Position

The company maintained sound financial management with available liquidity at $1.2 billion; cash and cash equivalents were $811 million as at June 30, 2025. Debt management and financial discipline remain priorities and, as part of this focus, Bombardier refinanced $500 million of its Senior Notes due in 2027, with the new Senior Notes now due in 2033. The company’s proactive debt management contributed to a credit rating upgrade from S&P Global Ratings to BB-, with a stable outlook. Moody’s Ratings also reviewed Bombardier’s outlook, upgrading it from stable to positive.
