post<\/a>. \u201cIf they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a \u2018piggybank.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\nBombardier said in a statement that the American aerospace industry is a \u201cclear winner on trade and exports.\u201d It said it creates tens of thousands of jobs both directly and through its supply chain.<\/p>\n
Bombardier’s supply chain includes about 2,800 U.S. companies in 47 states, it said. Among other things, wings for its business jets are made in Texas and flight control components are produced near Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
\u201cBombardier values its great partnership with American companies and its U.S. employees. Our plan is to continue to invest in our people, our customers, and the communities in which we operate across the country,\u201d it said. <\/p>\n
One state where Bombardier has a significant presence is Kansas, which Trump won by about 16 percentage points in 2024. <\/p>\n
U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas said in a social media post Monday that Bombardier supports a local workforce of more than 1,000 Kansans. <\/p>\n
\u201cI reached out to the Trump administration to make certain the President is aware of the significant contributions of Bombardier to Kansas and the importance of its presence in Wichita to many Kansas workers at Bombardier and in the Bombardier supply chain,\u201d Moran wrote in his post. <\/p>\n
Moran promised to continued working to ensure that the planemaker’s manufacturing operations remain in Kansas.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that his government will buy six early warning radar planes from Sweden\u2019s Saab and Bombardier, rather than from U.S. aircraft makers. The Saab planes use Bombardier\u2019s Global 6500 aircraft platform, supporting Canadian manufacturing. They have 20% U.S. content. The alternatives would have been U.S.-made E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft made by Boeing or the Aeris X, made by L3Harris. <\/p>\n
The Canadian government is reviewing plans to buy U.S. F-35 fighter jets. Saab has proposed making its Gripen fighter jet in Canada.<\/p>\n
Bombardier is one of Canada’s oldest and most well-known manufacturers. The company was founded by Joseph-Armand Bombardier, an inventor and entrepreneur in Canada\u2019s rural Quebec who started out making snowmobiles and other snow-going equipment in the 1930s. <\/p>\n
Over its long history, it entered and left the train-making business and expanded for a time into making regional and commercial aircraft. But it sold off those parts of its business as it restructured to focus on making private business jets. <\/p>\n
The company also has spun off parts of its business making snowmobiles and other recreational equipment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
