The acquisition grants Bombardier full command over a 270,000-square-foot facility and a logistics hub that currently coordinates over 30 North American supply partners. By internalizing these operations, the jet maker seeks to alleviate bottlenecks that have plagued the aerospace sector as demand for business aircraft and defense-related aviation continues to climb.

Bombardier Absorbs MHI Canada Aerospace to Secure Jet Production
To insulate its production lines from industry-wide supply chain volatility, Montreal-based Bombardier has agreed to acquire the Mississauga assets of MHI Canada Aerospace. The deal, which includes the absorption of 750 specialized workers, aims to bring critical wing and fuselage manufacturing for Global and Challenger jets directly under company control.
Financial terms of the transaction remain confidential, though the integration is scheduled to finalize later this year. MHI Canada Aerospace will remain involved during a transition period to ensure that wing assembly and flight control installations for ongoing aircraft programs proceed without interruption. David Murray, Bombardier’s executive vice president of manufacturing and supply chain, described the move as a foundational shift intended to bolster long-term resilience and production flexibility.
