Bombardier finalizes sale of Amphibious Aircraft Program to Viking Air

Bombardier confirmed that it has closed the previously announced sale of its Amphibious Aircraft program to British Columbia-based Viking Air Limited. The agreement covers the Type Certificates for all variants of the aircraft, the CL-215, the CL-215T and the Bombardier 415 aircraft as well as after-market services. This divestiture positions Bombardier to better focus on core, higher growth sectors: business jets, commercial aircraft and rail transportation. The transaction has received the approval of all appropriate regulatory authorities and other consents from government bodies.
