Bombardier has secured a landmark firm order for 50 of its Challenger and Global business jets, alongside a first-of-its-kind service agreement, in a deal valued at US$1.7 billion. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027. The unnamed first-time customer will also hold purchase options for an additional 70 aircraft. Should all options be exercised, the total value of the aircraft and service agreements could exceed US$4 billion.
This milestone agreement not only highlights the strength of Bombardier’s aircraft portfolio but also marks a new chapter in its service offerings. The customer has opted into Bombardier’s premium maintenance and support packages, signalling a strong commitment to operational excellence and customer care. The partnership is described as a bold and innovative model that enhances the ownership and flying experience through seamless support and bespoke services.
Éric Martel, President and CEO of Bombardier, noted that the order reflects the company’s end-to-end value proposition. “This significant order underscores the competitive advantage Bombardier’s full scope of products and services brings to customers throughout the entire aircraft lifecycle, from design to delivery, then throughout the in-service journey,” he stated, adding that Bombardier’s 18,000 employees take pride in fostering trust and customer satisfaction daily.
The Challenger and Global families are recognised for exceptional performance, dependability, and comfort. Engineered with precision, these aircraft deliver a refined travel experience, enhanced by smooth ride technology and superior landing capabilities. With a robust global service network, Bombardier ensures that customers benefit from world-class support wherever they operate, reinforcing its status as a leader in business aviation.
