Overview
- The 126,000-square-foot facility near Bombardier’s Challenger plant and Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre will expand industrial capacity and productivity.
- The new centre is part of a long-term plan to meet rising global demand for Bombardier business jets and support higher production rates.
- Bombardier says the project will create skilled jobs and strengthen Quebec’s aerospace supply chain, with officials citing hundreds of positions.
- The company’s order backlog has reached about US$16.6 billion, reinforcing the case for added capacity, though engine availability could constrain near-term output.
- The facility will support existing aircraft lines, including platforms used in defence, but it is not designated for a strictly military role.
