Overview
- The 126,000-square-foot facility in Dorval is slated to open before the end of 2027 near Bombardier’s Challenger manufacturing and Laurent Beaudoin completion centres.
- The site will support existing aircraft programs, including platforms used in the defence sector, without a strictly military purpose.
- Bombardier cites strong private-jet demand and a five-year-high backlog of about US$16.6 billion as it expands capacity.
- Provincial officials say the investment will create hundreds of highly skilled jobs and strengthen Quebec’s aerospace supply chain.
- Company leaders say supply chains have largely normalized, but engine availability remains the main constraint on production growth.
