Bombardier has announced a significant firm order for 50 of its performance-leading Challenger and Global aircraft, combined with a first-of-a-kind service agreement.

Together, the firm aircraft and service agreements are valued at $1.7bn with deliveries set to begin in 2027.

The first-time Bombardier customer will also hold 70 new aircraft purchase options. If all purchase options are exercised, the combined aircraft and service agreements’ value would reach more than $4bn.
