Maverick Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Bombardier SOLD The Q400 Division - Fliegerfaust Exclusive Q400 is No More a Bombardier Product 15:45 - October 20, 2017 - Quebec, Montreal by Sylvain Faust According to sources very close the Q400 division, Bombardier Inc. should be announcing very soon the sale of its Q400 business. After the major transaction involving its 50% ownership in the CSeries Holding, Bombardier was left with only the CRJ and Q400 part of its Commercial Aircraft business. Could ATR which is owned 50% by AIRBUS be the buyer? Remember, the Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft are part of the Bombardier Business Aircraft division, not Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. To help you understand, the commercial aircraft business is selling "buses" to airlines so they can carry large amount of paying passengers, i.e you! Business aircraft are sport cars sold mainly to individuals or corporations for VIP and VVIP. Not the same business, not the same clientele at all. Bombardier Commercial Aircraft covers the CSeries (via ownership in its holding), the CRJ and Q400 aircraft. The CRJ would be the only aircraft left in Bombardier Commercial Aircraft division 100% own by Bombardier. Could it be next in line to be liquidated? Bombardier CEO Bellemare told the CSeries employees during a presentation Tuesday at the Mirabel factory that the company was losing money with each Q400 delivery.

vanishing point Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Perhaps Viking Air will buy the Q400 type certificate. They already own the TC's for all former DHC aircraft up to and including the Dash 7. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_Air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boestar Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The Q400 is built in Toronto. Why would he announce that in Mirabel to the employees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudder Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 "Bombardier CEO Bellemare told the CSeries employees during a presentation Tuesday at the Mirabel factory that the company was losing money with each Q400 delivery." The AC and DL c-series sales contracts were at a 60-70% discount off list price and the Q400 program is the problem? I am not sure this news article is credible. But neither is the BBD Commercial Aerospace business plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEFCON Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I read something the other day that claimed Airbus wanted all of Bombardier's aerospace holdings except for its Learjet division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boestar Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 They are saying that is not the case. Airbus apparently has no interest in anything else. Bombardier would never let BBAD go as it does make money. Q400 maybe but Airbus is already a holder in ATR so why bother. Learjet hasn't done anything truly interesting in a very long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Looks like the Q400 is alive and well at least the order book is growing.. Conair boosts Q400 order book with deal for six tankers 16 January, 2018 SOURCE: Flight Dashboard BY: Greg Waldron Singapore Aerial firefighting firm Conair has ordered six new-build Bombardier Q400s that will be used as multirole aerial firefighting aircraft. The aircraft will receive Conair's retardant delivery system, which includes a tank that can be removed so that the aircraft can perform other missions, such as passenger and cargo transport, medical evacuation, and coast patrol, says Bombardier. The manufacturer adds that the deal is worth $206 million at list prices. “The Q400 Multirole’s versatility delivers optimal value by accommodating year-round service in passenger, cargo, combi transport, medivac, emergency response, surveillance and patrol without compromising state-of-the-art air tanker capabilities,”says Barry Marsden, chairman and chief executive of Conair. Bombardier says the aircraft can operate from unprepared strips, conduct steep landing approaches, and is capable of a cruising speed of 667kmh. Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that prior to the Conair deal, Bombardier had 46 firm orders for Q400s. Orders are spread over ten airlines, with orders dominated by SpiceJet (25) and PAL Express (seven). Conair operates 65 aircraft and is focused on specialty aircraft operations such as firefighting and other missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super 80 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I would swear I read about the French Q400 order and the potential for a joint European CL-415 order last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
