Parts continue to arrive at Bombardier’s CIASTA facility in Mirabel each day for function and reliability testing. Bombardier has completed a significant portion of the detailed design phase of its 100- to 125-seat CS100 as it prepares for first flight during next year’s second half.

Bombardier this week reached an agreement to settle a shareholder lawsuit related to its divestitures but said that the terms are confidential. In 2022, Bombardier noteholders filed a complaint before the New York Supreme Court reiterating claims that the Canadian manufacturer violated lending covenants by divesting its transportation business, regional jet program, and aerostructures division.

At the time, the company issued a statement that it “believes that these allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the action. The corporation believes it is not and has never been in breach of any covenant under the relevant indenture and that the actions taken by it in May 2021, with the support and consent of the requisite holders of the relevant debt securities of the corporation, were fully compliant with the terms of the indentures under which such notes were issued.”
