Bombardier says the purchase bolsters its U.S. presence and supports its long-term commitment to providing operators with service coverage.

The Montreal-based company is expected to report its fourth-quarter results on Thursday.

The company was recently singled out by U.S. President Donald Trump in a threat to ground and tariff Canadian-made aircraft if Canada failed to certify Georgia-based Gulfstream’s G700 and G800 luxury planes.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 9, 2026.
