    MONTREAL, Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier Inc. (TSX: BBD.B) today announced strong financial results for the third quarter of 2025, with multiple key metrics recording large year-over-year gains. The results emphasize the company’s ability to deliver a high level of performance and place the team in an excellent position to reach full-year guidance. The third quarter saw sustained Services growth as well as the launch of a new expansion initiative geared toward the company’s footprint in the U.S. Increases in deliveries and continued momentum in the backlog both highlighted strong, sustained demand for Bombardier products.

    “Bombardier’s third quarter performance marked by double-digit growth, or better, across all key indicators is a testament to the entire team’s relentless focus on executing our plan and supporting our customers. We delivered strong year-over-year cash flow improvement, driven by sustained customer demand, efficient operations, and strong uptake on parts and service programs,’’ said Éric Martel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier. “We are entering the final stretch of 2025 with excellent momentum across the board. The Global 8000, certified this week by Transport Canada, is the fastest business jet in the world, establishing new industry benchmarks with a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.95 and a cabin altitude of 2,691 ft. The aircraft is on track to enter service this year. Our service network is consistently full and expanding in the Middle East and the U.S. Finally, our defense team is well positioned to grow its proportion of deliveries in the near term. The Bombardier team is on track for a strong end of year.”

    Revenues, Aircraft Deliveries and Services All Rise

    The company generated $2.3 billion in revenues for the third quarter, reflecting 11% year-over-year growth. The delivery mix favored Global aircraft over Challenger, with a total of 34 units.

    Bombardier reported $590 million in revenues from its Services activities, achieving 12% year-over-year growth, a segment that continues to show high performance and even further growth potential. In August, the company unveiled major multi-phase U.S. expansion, the first step being the new service centre in Fort Wayne, Indiana, announced in October of 2025.

    Adjusted EBITDA reached $356 million for the third quarter, up 16% year-over-year increase. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 60 basis points year-over-year to 15.4%. This growth was driven by 4 incremental aircraft deliveries, a favorable delivery mix and increased defense-related content, partially offset by transitory supply chain-related costs. Reported EBIT for the third quarter was $227 million. Adjusted EPS was positive at $1.21 for the third quarter, with diluted EPS at $0.77. ​

    Significant Improvement in Free Cash Flow

    The company reported $152 million in free cash flow for the quarter, an impressive $279 million improvement compared to the same quarter last year, driven by increased customer advances, robust order momentum, lower investments in inventories and incremental earnings. Cash flows from operating activities and net additions to PP&E and intangible assets were at $190 million and $38 million respectively.

    Backlog Remains Strong

    The backlog grew by $0.5 billion during the quarter, reaching $16.6 billion as at September 30, 2025. The backlog remained at a 5-year-high level, supported by strong order intake that represented a unit book-to-bill of 1.3 at the end of the quarter.

    Continued Actions to Improve Balance Sheet

    The company maintained its disciplined approach to deleveraging, successfully refinancing $250 million in debt during the quarter and announced, in November, the repayment of another approximately $100 million in debt with a repayment date set for December 3, 2025. Building on our efforts to strengthen the balance sheet, Bombardier extended maturities and lowered the average cost of debt. Available liquidity remained strong at $1.6 billion, including cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.2 billion as at September 30, 2025.

  • Bombardier Defense and SNC Announce 10-year Service Agreement in Support of U.S. Military Program

    • Agreement covers two Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft – equipped with SNC’s RAPCON-X® technology – that SNC owns and operates for a U.S. military customer
    • SNC will benefit from the Bombardier Smart Services Defense program, which allows for predictable and transparent operating costs

    WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier Defense and global aerospace leader SNC have signed a 10-year service agreement for two Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft equipped with SNC’s RAPCON-X technology.

    This agreement is especially designed to reduce costs for operators whose annual aircraft usage significantly exceeds industry averages. Smart Services Defense will cover the cost of logistical support for the aircraft, including spare parts, shipping, technical publications and technical support, as well as access to Bombardier’s 24/7 Customer Response Centre.

    Under the agreement, Bombardier will cover predetermined costs for SNC, which operates the two COCO (contractor-owned, contractor-operated) aircraft for a U.S. military customer.

    “Bombardier Defense offers much more than top-performing aircraft,” said Guillaume Landrivon, Vice President, Support & Services, Bombardier Defense. “Our tailored service packages allow for predictable and transparent operating costs. This is especially useful for aircraft flying high-utilization missions for government customers.”

    Josh Walsh, vice president of programs at SNC, emphasized the strong relationship with Bombardier Defense, stating, “Our collaboration with Bombardier Defense is exceptional. With the signing of this agreement, we are committed to providing the predictability, transparency and reliability our customers depend on to remain prepared at all times. This agreement not only allows us to mitigate risk but also adds significant value for our customers and the U.S. taxpayer.”

    Designed using model-based systems engineering (MBSE), Tim Harper, SNC vice president of business development, explained, “RAPCON-X is a rapidly configurable aircraft solution that we can swiftly adapt to specific missions by switching out on-board equipment to match tactical needs. Its baseline configuration allows the aircraft to collect and process SIGINT, EO reconnaissance and ground moving-target signatures. It also includes SNC TRAX® software that connects RAPCON-X with all net-enabled platforms across the battlefield.”

    SNC’s family-of-systems approach also allows the company to apply its scalable RAPCON-X design to other types of Bombardier aircraft, including the Challenger 650.

    The Bombardier Smart Services Defense cost-per-flight-hour program, which packages multiple services under one program, is a unique offering in the industry, a predetermined-rate model that shields operators from unexpected maintenance expenses while delivering the full advantage of Bombardier’s OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) expertise 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. 

    The Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft is the go-to choice for the most demanding specialized missions around the world. Governments, militaries and operators choose this aircraft for its ideal combination of performance, reliability and flexibility, and because it is highly adaptable to outer mold line (OML) manipulation. The Global 6500 aircraft has class-leading power for mission equipment, over 18 hours of endurance, advantageous maintenance intervals and ample cabin space for workstations, patient transport and mission equipment.

  • Bombardier Unveils BOND as Customer Behind June 2025 Landmark Order and Service Agreement

    • BOND will enter the thriving business aviation market through their US$1.7B firm order for 50 Bombardier aircraft and a comprehensive service agreement
    • Long-term, first-of-its-kind service agreement ensures BOND benefits from Bombardier’s global support network and industry-best service capabilities
    • Challenger and Global aircraft selected to power BOND’s fleet reinforce Bombardier’s leadership in performance, comfort and reliability

    LAS VEGAS, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier is proud to unveil BOND as the company behind its previously disclosed 50-aircraft firm order and service agreement, valued at US$1.7 billion. The ceremony was held today at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition, where BOND also revealed its brand identity to the industry. As part of the ceremony, BOND also announced that the order includes Challenger and Global aircraft, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2027.

    BOND has chosen Bombardier exclusively to launch its operations—marking a significant milestone for both companies. This landmark order, which includes a comprehensive service contract, reflects BOND’s confidence in Bombardier’s industry-leading aircraft and its commitment to delivering the highest level of quality and support.

    “BOND’s exclusive choice of Bombardier’s aircraft and services speaks volumes about the trust they place in our people, our products, and in the values of excellence and integrity that define our company,” said Éric Martel, President and CEO, Bombardier. “Bombardier’s jets are best in class. This, coupled with a service network voted number 1 in recent industry surveys, places our team in a unique position to deliver BOND with an offering rooted in product quality, reliability and predictable care.”

    “As someone who has spent their career in private aviation, I’m excited to have the best planes in the world to offer to our customers at BOND,” said Bill Papariella, Chairman and Group CEO of BOND. “Our relationship with their team spans many years through my previous work in the aftermarket space at Jet Edge, and I’ve seen firsthand the culture, consistency, and service mindset that make Bombardier exceptional. This relationship isn’t simply about aircraft—it’s about shared values and a long-term commitment to redefining reliability and care in private aviation. The capital markets’ response to our announcement in June validated that belief. What we’re building with BOND is a continuation of that same vision I began at Jet Edge: that great aviation companies are built around service, and Bombardier is the best in the world to help us deliver on that promise.”

    By selecting Bombardier aircraft, BOND ensures its discerning customers will benefit from best-in-class performance, reliability, and an elevated passenger experience from takeoff to landing. The business relationship is built on a foundation of trust and a shared vision for excellence, with both companies dedicated to forging a strong, enduring bond that will support BOND’s ambitious business plans.

    The long-term service agreement is a key pillar of this collaboration, designed to ensure BOND’s fleet operates at peak performance from day one. Through this agreement, BOND will benefit from Bombardier’s full suite of maintenance and support services—including access to its global network of service centers, 24/7 technical support, parts availability, and predictive maintenance tools. This comprehensive coverage not only maximizes aircraft uptime but also delivers operational peace of mind, allowing BOND to focus on delivering a seamless, elevated experience to its clientele.

    The order, initially announced in June 2025, also includes 70 new aircraft purchase options; if all options are exercised, the total aircraft and services value would reach more than US$4 billion.

    Bombardier announces the opening of a new Service Centre in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during an event held today with local and state officials, alongside Bombardier leadership.

    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.

  • Airmedic invests $7M in a second Bombardier Learjet 45XR, bringing its international aviation investments to $15M since 2024

    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.

  • Bombardier Celebrates 20 Years of Excellence at Chicago and Frankfurt Parts Hubs

    • 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 20th 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.

    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. While our team is already delivering on this promise — with our best-in-class services earning the #1 ranking in the AIN Product Support survey for a second consecutive year, as well as in the 2025 Professional Pilot Corporate Aircraft Product Support Survey— this expansion initiative demonstrates the depth of our commitment to offer the ultimate customer experience.”

    With the entry into service of the Global 8000(1) aircraft later this year and the steady growth of Bombardier’s global fleet, the company is keen to bolster its U.S. capabilities in key hubs across the country to meet customers where they are. As part of this large-scale expansion investment, the company will prioritize talent recruitment and workforce development to ensure a steady flow of qualified professionals into its operations. Furthermore, to meet demand and ensure convenient care and service, Bombardier will focus on expanding its successful apprenticeship and talent programs with local communities to accelerate the recruitment and onboarding of Airframe and Powerplant Technicians, as well as other skilled workers.

    Bombardier’s current Services business already has a robust footprint in the United States, anchored by service centres in key locations including Dallas, Tucson, Hartford and Wichita, as well as in Miami Opa Locka with a facility inaugurated in 2022. Customers benefit from a comprehensive support ecosystem that features a strategically located parts distribution centre in Chicago and Mobile Response Teams deployed across 20 locations nationwide — ensuring rapid, expert assistance wherever it is needed.
