Summary
Fort Wayne, Indiana, will host a new Bombardier facility later this year as the planemaker expands its U.S. service network and defense activities.
More than 20 states already have Bombardier employees, and the company says its U.S. supply chain spans about 2,800 companies across 47 states.
Over $2.5 billion in annual supplier spending underpins that footprint, with U.S.-made engines, avionics, wings from Red Oak, Texas, and flight-control components from the Los Angeles area.
10 service centres across six countries already support Bombardier’s fleet of more than 5,200 aircraft, making the Indiana site part of a broader push to deepen its North American operations.
