Bombardier Order Book Swells to $20B with Deliveries Up
Book-to-bill came in 3.6:1
Bombardier Global 8000
Bombardier is seeing strong demand for new Global 8000s as well as the upgrade from the predecessor Global 7500.

Despite a supplier “snag” that pushed a couple of Challenger deliveries into upcoming months, Bombardier delivered one more aircraft in the first quarter from a year ago and still finished the first three months with a historic 3.6:1 book-to-bill, the company reported this morning.

Bombardier handed over 24 aircraft in the quarter, compared with 23 in the same period last year. This reflected one fewer Global with 10 delivered and two more Challengers (12). Meanwhile, backlog jumped by $2.8 billion to $20.3 billion, representing 43% year-over-year (YOY) growth.
