Bombardier To Create Over 800 Jobs In Major Investment
Bombardier has announced that the assembly of the test airframe for Bombardier CSeries aircraft is well under way.
Bombardier in Belfast produces the advanced wing structure for Bombardier C series aircraft. The wings are being attached to the test airframe that will be used during the Airframe Static Test.
Over £520 million will be invested by Bombardier on the programme which is supported by the UK government through Repayable investments and grants. The expectation will be that 800+ jobs will be created in the company and through the supply chain. Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said: "This is a significant milestone in the CSeries project, the largest ever inward investment project undertaken in Northern Ireland.“This particular project brings major benefits in terms of taking the company’s technological capabilities to a new level as well as bringing opportunities to the company’s supply chain in Northern Ireland and across the UK."
The quality of the wings fabricated in Belfast is testament to the ingenuity, determination and pride of Bombardier’s team in Belfast and they represent a major proportion of the new CSeries aircraft programme.
