Bombardier is among the key employers in the business aviation sector in Canada, and it is planning to expand.

Noting that the Canadian business aviation fleet sustains $17.9 billion in annual economic impact, the Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) has asked the government to foster further development of the sector via tax, regulatory, and/or policy changes.
