Bombardier Aerospace Set to Make Splash at NBAA

The company will showcase its latest aircrafts, despite a union strike at its factory.

Bombardier Aerospace will showcase a lineup of aircrafts, including Learjets 75, 85, 45XR, and 60XR, as well as the Global 6000, Challenger 605, and Challenger 300, at the National Business Aviation Association's annual convention in Orlando, FL.

According to the Wichita Eagle, the Learjet 75 is an improvement on its Learjet 45.

“We know this jet will make a splash at this year’s show,” Bombardier Business Aircraft president Steve Ridolfi says in a statement.

The Kansas-based Wichita Eagle reports that the NBAA convention will open as a Machinists union strike at the Learjet factory enters its fourth week.

The Eagle says union members rejected the company’s proposal of a new labor contract and walked off the job. There are no plans yet to for new negotiations.
