Bombardier consolidates
Two state-run Chinese firms, the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) and the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), are vying to purchase Bombardier’s Northern Ireland facility as the Canadian aircraft builder consolidates its operation to one facility in Canada.
Montreal-based Bombardier Group, one of the biggest employers in Northern Ireland with a workforce of 3600, is selling not only its Belfast operation but also its Newtownabbey, Newtownards and Dunmurry operations and its Moroccan facility as Bombardier continues to consolidate all its aerospace assets into a single streamlined and fully integrated business.
