A rich history
In 1942, Joseph Armand Bombardier created the snow mobile and started a company where entrepreneurial thinking, taking calculated risks and building exceptional products were at the core of everything it did.
In 1986, these values led to Bombardier's venture into aerospace.
Over the next 13 years, Bombardier acquired established plane-makers, building the foundation for what the company is today, an industry leading aircraft manufacturer with the widest portfolio of business jets.
Bombardier Defense was established in 2022, reflecting the company’s strategic expansion of the unique aircraft solutions it has been providing for decades to special mission operators around the world. The expanding portfolio of services ranges from urgent humanitarian assistance, head-of-state transport to airspace calibration, infrastructure validation and battlefield and border surveillance.
