Bombardier explores link with Aviacor
Bombardier acknowledged in late January that it has held “exploratory discussions” about collaboration in the turboprop market with Russian aircraft maker

Bombardier acknowledged in late January that it has held “exploratory discussions” about collaboration in the turboprop market with Russian aircraft maker Aviacor, but it stopped short of confirming reports that it will transfer Q300 turboprop production to the underused factory, now owned by Oleg Deripaska’s Basic Element holding company.

“As part of its globalization strategy, Bombardier continues to seek business opportunities throughout the world,” said the Canadian company in an e-mailed response to AIN. “Aviacor is not involved in any of our aircraft programs but we have had exploratory discussions with Aviacor.”
