Bombardier Inc. is a Canadian aerospace company focused on business aviation. The company designs, manufactures and supports business jets, including its Challenger and Global aircraft families, which serve corporate, charter, government and private customers. Bombardier also provides aircraft maintenance, refurbishment, parts, technical support and other aftermarket services through a global service network.
In addition to business jets, Bombardier develops specialized aircraft solutions for government and defense missions, including aircraft configured for surveillance, transport and other mission requirements. Its operations and customer-support activities serve markets across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and other international regions.
Bombardier was founded in 1942 by Joseph-Armand Bombardier and historically operated in snowmobiles, rail transportation and commercial aviation before narrowing its focus to business aviation. The company divested its rail transportation business to Alstom and exited commercial aircraft programs, including the CRJ regional jet program, as part of its strategic transition. Éric Martel has served as Bombardier’s president and chief executive officer since 2020.
