Bombardier Aviation was founded in 1942. Headquartered in Montreal, the company was originally incorporated as L’Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée in 1942. Its founder, Joseph-Armand Bombardier, was a Québécois mechanical engineer who invented one of the first commercially viable snowmobiles. Bombardier Inc. has grown considerably from its beginnings as a snowmobile manufacturer and is now an iconic Canadian company, known for its public transportation vehicles and exceptional aircraft such as the Global, Challenger and Learjet business jets.

With more than 26,900 employees and a leadership position in global markets, Bombardier Aviation designs, manufactures and supports innovative aviation products for the business, commercial and specialised aircraft markets. With this comprehensive aircraft portfolio, we hold the number one position in business and regional aircraft. Our high-performance aircraft and services set the standard of excellence in several markets, including:
