Cameron Doerksen of National Bank Financial said the Montreal-based manufacturer potentially has positive news on the horizon as several sales campaigns are likely to bear fruit.
"We believe that orders for Bombardier regional aircraft, particularly the Q400 turboprop, are about to pick up materially in the coming months," he wrote in a report.
The first orders could be announced next week at the Dubai Air Show.
Indonesia's Garuda Airlines is expected to announce an 18-plane regional jet order and Doerksen said Bombardier's CRJ1000 has "an even chance of winning."
There is also the possibility the event will yield a new order for the 110- to 149-seat CSeries, which is slated to enter into service at the end of 2013.
Bahrain Gulf Air is reportedly one of the unidentified CSeries purchasers and is the most likely candidate to place additional orders, Doerksen said.
