Bombardier Aerospace delivers 302 aircraft in FY2009/10

Bombardier Aerospace announced (05-Feb-2010) it delivered 302 aircraft for the fiscal year ending 31-Jan-2010, compared to 349 aircraft deliveries in the previous fiscal year. It received 11 aircraft orders, net of cancellations, compared to 367 orders, net of cancellations, for the previous fiscal year.

Commercial Aircraft:

  • 121 commercial aircraft deliveries, "in line" with the 10% increase in commercial aircraft delivery guidance provided last year:
    • CRJ Series: 61;
    • Q Series: 60.
  • 88 commercial aircraft orders:
    • CRJ Series: 22;
    • Q Series: 16;
    • C Series: 50.

Bombardier expects that most of the deliveries of its commercial aircraft will take place in the last three quarters of FY2010/11, as a result of production rate reductions announced in 2009 and the delay in the certification and entry into service of the CRJ1000 to 2H FY2010/11. Bombardier expects FY2010/11 commercial aircraft deliveries to be down 20% year-on-year. [more]
