Bombardier delivered 25 aircraft in Q3, two fewer than a year ago in part from the ending of the Learjet program, but expects almost twice that in Q4.

Bombardier deliveries dipped by two units to 25 in the third quarter, but a 20 percent jump in aftermarket business kept revenues even at $1.5 billion from the same three-month period a year ago. At the same time, Bombardier maintained a book-to-bill of 1.3:1, growing backlog in the quarter by $300 million to $15 billion.
