MONTREAL, Oct. 23, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Bombardier, a leading manufacturer of aircraft, is expanding its operations in the United States, creating thousands of jobs and investing heavily in infrastructure. The company announced plans to hire 800 people across the country, with 500 positions currently being actively recruited for. This expansion is part of a broader strategy to create an additional 300 jobs through footprint expansion projects.

The expansion will be particularly significant in Texas, where Bombardier plans to add 150 high-skilled jobs as part of its ongoing services expansion. Additionally, the company is set to open a new service facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which will be an approximately 64,500-square-foot facility accommodating up to six aircraft. This facility will offer scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, modifications, avionics installations, and AOG support.

Bombardier’s expansion plans also extend to Texas and Connecticut, where the company will continue to grow its service network. The company’s American workers are currently based in over 20 states, from Kansas to New Jersey, with the company’s overall direct employment presence covering more than 20 states. This expansion is part of Bombardier’s broader commitment to developing talent, enhancing capabilities, and supporting the long-term growth of its operations in the United States.

The company’s American activities in 2025 supported 27,200 American jobs throughout its service and manufacturing facilities, as well as within a broad supply chain, where Bombardier spent $2.8 billion. Based on current hiring and expansion plans, the total number of jobs supported is projected to exceed 33,000. Bombardier’s American workers are based all around the United States, with sites in Kansas, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Connecticut, Illinois, Delaware, California, Washington D.C., and New Jersey.

Bombardier’s American activities are part of a larger network that supports a fleet of approximately 5,300 aircraft, with the company’s performance-leading jets being manufactured in aerostructure, assembly, and completion facilities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. In 2024, Bombardier was honored with the prestigious “Red Dot: Best of the Best” award for Brands and Communication Design, underscoring its commitment to innovation and excellence in the aerospace industry.
