Bombardier has welcomed UK prime minister Theresa May’s intervention in a dispute instigated by Boeing over Canadian government support for the C Series airliner. Speaking Tuesday with reporters at the C Series assembly site in Mirabel, Quebec, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft president Fred Cromer called the complaint an attack on innovation and a threat to jobs at companies around the globe—including in the U.S.—that comprise the new narrowbody’s supply chain.
