Bombardier’s business jet deliveries dropped by 15 units for a total of 20 in the second quarter and associated revenues plummeted 28 percent as the company continues to recover from Covid-19 pandemic-related factory shutdowns, albeit at a lower production rate. In the second quarter, Bombardier delivered nine Globals, including five 7500s, along with nine Challengers and two Learjets. This compares with 16 Globals, 17 Challengers, and two Learjets handed over in second-quarter 2019.
