Bombardier delivered one more business jet in the first quarter than a year earlier for a total of 22. Revenues, however, jumped 17 percent to $1.5 billion, reflecting a mix skewing to larger aircraft following the discontinuation of the Learjet line last year, the Montreal-based OEM reported today. Excluding Learjet, deliveries were up by 22 percent.

Deliveries in the first three months comprised eight Challengers and 14 Globals, compared with six of the super-midsized aircraft and 12 of the ultra-long-range models in the same period last year. Bombardier also delivered three Learjets in the first quarter of 2022.
