After warning about worse-than-forecast earnings, a reassessment of its partnership with Airbus on the A220, and pursuit of alternatives to pay down debt, Bombardier could “take an existing page out of their old playbook…and sell yet another business unit,” specifically its business jet division, posits business aviation analyst Brian Foley. While it wouldn’t be a "seller’s market" for Bombardier's business jet division,” Foley said there would likely be several potential suitors.
