“This collaboration between Bombardier and Safran will foster the development of new solutions by leveraging our respective areas of expertise,” said Eric Martel, president and chief executive officer of Bombardier. “Bombardier and its more than 18,000 people stand ready to help our nations, and others, meet their evolving defence needs.”
