BOMBARDIER Aircraft

-

 

Bombardier Inc. is a Canadian manufacturer of Aircraft for Business Jets Propeller. It was also formerly a manufacturer of public transport vehicles, trains, and recreational vehicles, with the last being spun-off as Bombardier Recreational Products. The company originally produced snowmobiles, over the years it expanded into the aviation, rail, and public transit businesses. Bombardier Aviation is a division of Bombardier Inc. It is headquartered in Dorval, Quebec, Canada.



Bombardier grew out of a young mechanic’s inventive and entrepreneurial spirit to become a world class business jet manufacturing and servicing company.



Born in 1907, Joseph-Armand Bombardier built his first “SNOW VEHICLE” at the young age of 15. His motivation,  To help people travel across the snow-covered roads of rural Québec in Canada.




Thus, in 1937, Joseph-Armand Bombardier achieved his first major commercial success with the launch of the seven-passenger B7 snowmobile. Five year later, L’Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée was officially founded to manufacture the 12-passenger B12 snowmobile. A series of other snow-going vehicles followed for ambulance, freight transport, mail delivery and school transportation services. 


Joseph-Armand Bombardier never abandoned his dream of inventing the perfect personal snowmobile. His persistent experimentation eventually spawned a brand-new industry: snowmobiling. In 1959, he launched his world-famous Ski-Doo.


Laurent Beaudoin, the founder’s son-in-law, became President of the company in 1969 and proved to be as visionary and innovative as Joseph-Armand Bombardier. Under Beaudoin’s inspired leadership, the company entered a new era of organic growth and diversification through strategic acquisitions. In 1966, taking the company public further fueled growth, with listings on the Montréal and Toronto Stock Exchanges.


After acquiring Canadair in 1986 and restoring it to profitability, in 1989 Bombardier acquired the near-bankrupt Short Brothers aircraft manufacturing company in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This was followed in 1990 by the acquisition of the bankrupt American company Learjet, a manufacturer of business jets headquartered in Wichita, Kansas; and finally the money-losing Boeing subsidiary, de Havilland Aircraft of Canada based in Toronto, Ontario in 1992.


The aerospace company accounts for over half of Bombardier Inc.'s revenue. By the start of the 2010s, its most popular aircraft included its Dash 8 Series 400, CRJ100/200/440, and CRJ700/900/1000 lines of regional airliners although the company was devoting most of its Research and Development budget to the newer CSeries. It also manufactured the Bombardier 415 amphibious water-bomber (in Dorval and North Bay), and the Global Express and the Challenger lines of business jets.


The CSeries, which Bombardier offered in several size versions, initially competed with the Airbus A318 and Airbus A319; the Boeing 737 Next Generation 737-600 and 737-700 models; and the Embraer 195. Bombardier claimed the CSeries would burn 20% less fuel per trip than these competitors, which would make it still about 8% more fuel efficient than the Boeing 737 MAX, which was introduced in 2017. The launch customer for the CSeries, Lufthansa, signed a letter of intent for up to 60 aircraft and 30 options in 2008. The Montreal manufacturing complex was redeveloped by Ghafari Associates to incorporate lean manufacturing for the CSeries.


Bombardier manufactures several series of corporate jets, Global, Global Express, Challenger, Learjet and Dash Q series Aircraft.


The Corporation supports a worldwide fleet of approximately 4,900 aircraft in service with a wide variety of multinational corporations, charter and fractional ownership providers, governments and private individuals.


I am intended to write this write up to let you know the models of the Aircrafts with very common features to learn for the newcomers in the industry. Though my write up skill is not at all up to the mark, I'm trying my best to enrich my BLOG with information. Cause I believe flow of information is very key to learn. Aviation is a very technical industry to work in, it is a passion to work and learn. Every day is a new day for the Aviator, cause you don’t even know what will happen tomorrow. Every day arises a new situation to handle in a different manner. Aviator is smart enough to handle the situation with safety of the Aircraft, Comfort of the customer for both B2B and B2C. B2C is the ultimate delivery point of the service. Sometimes it is very hard to make people understand and manage the situation.

Special Prorate Agreements (SPAs) Special Prorate Agreements (SPAs) are agreements between two or more airlines that govern the sharing of revenue and expenses on specific routes.
