Business Aircraft Outpaced Commercial, But Not By Much
Bombardier Aerospace announced Friday that it delivered 302
aircraft for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2010, compared to
349 aircraft deliveries in the previous fiscal year 2008/09 (year
ending January 31, 2009). It received 11 aircraft orders, net of
cancellations, compared to 367 orders, net of cancellations, for
the previous fiscal year. Against the backdrop of an aviation
industry continuing to struggle in the current difficult economic
environment, Bombardier Aerospace’s considers this to be a
solid performance.
“The global economic crisis which began in 2008 continued
to impact the civil aviation industry throughout 2009 as conditions
remained challenging,” said Guy C. Hachey, President and
Chief Operating Officer, Bombardier Aerospace. “While
indicators of market stabilization have started to emerge, we
remain cautious as economic uncertainty still prevails. We have
taken significant steps to strengthen our operations and continue
to invest significantly in future programs. We strongly
believe that through flawless execution and by creating a loyal
customer base for our products and services, we will emerge from
this crisis a stronger and more efficient company,” he
added.
Bombardier CL 600
Bombardier delivered 176 business jets, in the just-completed
fiscal year, compared to 235 for the same period last year, and in
line with the 25 per cent decrease in business aircraft delivery
guidance provided in 2009. Business aircraft deliveries for the
current fiscal year 2010/11 are expected to be approximately 15 per
cent less than fiscal year 2009/10.
Bombardier CRJ 700 LR
At the same time, Bombardier delivered 121 commercial
aircraft, compared to 110 for the previous fiscal year. This is in
line with the 10 per cent increase in commercial aircraft delivery
guidance provided last year. Bombardier expects that most of the
deliveries of its commercial aircraft will take place in the last
three quarters of the current fiscal year 2010/11 as a result of
the production rate reductions announced in 2009 and the delay in
the certification and entry into service of the CRJ1000 aircraft to
the second half of fiscal year 2011. Compared to the previous
fiscal year, the corporation expects to deliver approximately 20
per cent fewer commercial aircraft in fiscal year 2010/11.
Bombardier 415
The company delivered five amphibious aircraft, and the order
book shows 8 net orders for amphibs.
