Bombardier Sends Bullish Message on Future of Belfast Plant
The Canadian company pitches wing work on future Airbus products.

Bombardier Aerostructures & Engineering Services (BAES) wants to extend its contribution to Airbus commercial aircraft programs, BAES president Michael Ryan told reporters during a recent briefing in London. Already providing equipment such as engine nacelles, Bombardier earlier in the year sealed a partnership with the European manufacturer and Canadian provincial government investors under which its struggling C Series design has become the Airbus A220, for which BAES builds the composite-material wings.
