Together we give wings to Quebec ingenuity

In 1996, Bombardier unveiled its first clean sheet design – the Global business jet – a marvel of local aerospace engineering and craftsmanship. Twenty five years later, we celebrate the delivery of the 1,000^th Global aircraft and the success of Quebec ingenuity recognized around the world.

While we have come a long way from our beginnings in Valcourt, Quebec, we all share the same passion for innovation and community that Joseph-Armand Bombardier instilled from the very beginning. His legacy lives on in Bombardier today, where the industry flagship Global 7500 aircraft has become a key economic driver with a total economic footprint in Canada of $2.0 billion in GDP and generating 8,456 jobs per year on average ⁽¹⁾.

Thank you for contributing to the international success of the Global aircraft platform and giving wings to Quebec ingenuity.
