David Coleal is out at Bombardier as the company “has begun the process of streamlining its senior leadership team as it transitions to a pure-play business jet company,” Bombardier announced late on Thursday. As part of this process, the Montreal-based company eliminated the Bombardier Aviation president role, to which Coleal was promoted last year after helming the business jet division since 2015.
